Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Alan Rogers, i whakaae ki te kohuru i muri i te pakaru i te korokoro o te hoa noho a Fred Hatch i muri i te whakapono he i uru ia ki te makutu. I patua e tētahi kaumātua haurangi tōna hoa noho hōia o te Navy ki tētahi hama kākahu i te mea i whakapono hē ia kei roto ia i te mahi makutu, i rongo ai te kōti i tēnei rā. Ko Alan Rogers, 73, i pakaru i te korokoro o te tupuna o Fred Hatch, 76, i roto i te kari o to ratou whare noho tata ki Cardiff. Katahi ka haere a Enid, te wahine o Mr Hatch, ki te rapu i tana tahu i muri i tana korenga ki te hoki mai ki te whare mai i te kari. I kitea e ia a Rogers e tu ana i runga i te tinana toto o tana tahu i mua i te rerenga ki te whakaoho i te whakaoho. I tenei ra i te Kooti Karauna o Cardiff, i whakaae a Rogers he hara mo te patu tangata, a, ka whakawakia ia i tenei ra. I rongo te kooti i muri i tana whakaeke i tana hoa noho, ka karanga marie a Rogers ki nga pirihimana ka korero ki a ratou: 'Kua patua e au tetahi o aku hoa noho, a kua patua e ahau tona mahunga ki te hama.' I rere atu te pirihimana me ngā kaiāwhina ki te whare noho ārai i Dinas Powys engari kāore i taea e rātau te whakaora i a Mr Hatch, i mate i te hōhipera. I a Rogers e herea ana e nga pirihimana, ka mea ia ki a ratou: 'Kua roa ahau e tatari ana ki te patu i taua tangata.' Ka uiui te pirihimana ki a Rogers, i whakapae pea kei te raru ia i te mate hinengaro i te wa i timata ai ia ki te whakaputa korero rereke mo te take i patu ai ia i tana hoa noho tata. I kii te Kai-whakawa a Mike Jones i kii a Rogers ki te pirihimana i whakamate ia i a Fred na te mea i uru ia ki te 'witchcraft' hou. I whakamārama a Mr Jones: 'I mea ia ki te pirihimana he tika ā-hinengaro tana ki a ia ki te whakamate i tēnei tangata i te mea e whakamahi ana ēnei tāngata i te hangarau hou e ōrite ana ki te mahi makutu ki te whara i ngā mea ora parakore. 'I mea ia kua mahi tahi a Fred me te mea i whakaahuatia e ia hei "te tangata me ona hoa mahi".' I korerotia ki te kooti i te ata o te 8 o Oketopa o te tau kua hipa ka timata te haere a Mr Hatch ki te kari o te hapori ki te hora i nga purapura tarutaru. I kii a Rogers ki nga pirihimana 'kei te tatari ia mo te whai waahi ki te hopu i tenei tangata' ana ka kite ia i a Mr Hatch e hoki mai ana mai i te kari...
I pakaru a Alan Rogers i te matenga o Fred Hatch i roto i to rātau kari ā-rohe. I kitea e Enid, te wahine a Mr Hatch, a Rogers e tū ana i runga i te tinana o tana tahu. I kii a Rogers i hiahia ia kia mate a Mr Hatch i te mea i uru ia ki te makutu. Ka mea ia ki nga pirihimana e hopukina ana ia 'Kua roa ahau e tatari ana ki te patu i taua tangata'
