The area was not very far away from the Square and in due course three shots were heard. Later in the day, Source learned from youngsters who went to see the execution that after the latter, the convict's mother was notified and asked to collect her son's body. This she allegedly refused to do on the grounds that her son had wronged the Country and she did not wish to be involved with a criminal.
