Leceased was shot death by a co-accused of your humble Petitioner and which

developed in such a way as to be beyond the control of your humble Petitioner.

Your humble Petitioner bitterly regrets that such violence was used in the course

of the robbery and that he was so foolish as to be drawn into it, and that

notwithstanding the death of the deceased, he and his co-accused proceeded with

the robbery as originally planned.

Your humble Petitioner deeply regrets and repents the consequences

of his action. He fully appreciates the disgrace that he has brough upon

himself, as well as the grief, remorse and loss that he caused the family of

the deceased. He realises fully his error in doing what he did, which was

completely out of character. Your humble Petitioner vows that he will never

asain act in such a manner.

Therefore your humble Petitioner is appealing to

His Excellency the Governor, to exercise the Royal Prerogative of Mercy for the

act of your Petitioner by commuting his present sentence of Death by substituting

therefore one of imprisonment, so that your humble Petitioner can repent and

atone for his grievours wrong doing for the rest of his natural life.

(10)

He will remember for all times this most grievous crime and devote

himself to living an honest, industrious and useful life for the benefit of

the community.
