I left my house about 3 p.m. roughly and went straight down
the steps opposite Ticia Mansions and so to Kennedy Road. I
crossed Kennedy Road and went down the steps between the two
blocks of married quarters and came out leaving the Garrison
School on my left. I approached the bridge (Bridge No.2)
that crosses the nullah there I see it here in the Plan
(Ex. I) and also in this photograph (Ex. IV). I heard screams
and I looked up to the left towards the other bridge (bridge
No.I which I see in Ex.II & III and about in the middle of
bridge No.I standing with his back to me was a Chinese male
with a white shirt, dark long trousers and a straw hat
similar in shape to this one, Ex.V. The top garment was white in the distance it looked like a shirt. As I looked
the man picked up a little boy who was standing on bridge
No.I and threw him over on the far side. He then picked a
little girl who was also there, threw her in, climbed over
the railings and dropped in himself. No one was left on the
bridge at all. Just as he climbed over the railings he
turned very slightly towards me and I caught a glimpse of
him side face. I ran up the path between the two bridges
marked Boundary path on the plan. I had a full view of the
nullah and I saw the little boy who had climbed out of the
deep part of the nullah and was clinging to the wall on the
far side. As he was safe, I rushed on to Bridge No.1 and
saw the little girl kneeling in the centre of the nullah. She
was screaming. I could not get down and after trying higher
up I returned to No.1 bridge and called to some of the chair
coolies and they climbed down and later a Chinese boy dressed
in white tennis trousers climbed down and the little girl was
helped out. The chair coolies helped to get her out.
* few
minutes later the little boy was brought to me by a soldier.
I could not recognise the soldier.
On the 9th July I attended an identification parade at Police
