Goosen is attached. It was decided that I could travel to Mozambique purely as a representative of the Swedish Police and that I had to act under conditions arranged by the Swedish Embassy in Maputo or the SNCID. Following the arrangements made earlier between the TRC and Swedish Government regarding the Palme investigation, it was agreed that I should report to the national head on my return from Mozambique.

On 28 April 1997, I had my first meeting with representatives of the investigative team in Maputo at which I explained my presence in Mozambique as a representative for the SNCID. I requested access to any details of the investigation which could be related to the murder of Palme, as well as access to the suspect. Since the Intelligence Agency in Mozambique was involved in the investigation, a decision had to be taken at a top political level relating to this request which was that I could have "100% insight into the investigation" and then later that I could forward information obtained in Mozambique to the TRC.

On 30 April 1997. I had my first meeting with the suspect at the Criminal Investigation Department in Maputo. At this stage there was no time for a proper interview. Instead, I put a number of questions to the suspect relating to his activities in Mozambique, any trips to Sweden, any knowledge about Longreach. his whereabouts on 28 February 1986 and knowledge of any so-called “Third Force activities". I asked him to write down his answers and hand then over at a later stage. The same day I was also present during a search of the suspect's apartment in Maputo. I was also given access to some of the evidence obtained in earlier searches of Barnett's apartment.

On 2 May 1997, I took part in a meeting with the suspect at the Machaba Prison in Maputo. At this meeting. he handed over a handwritten document containing his answers to the questions put to him the previous day. This document is attached.'

from documents gathered from the suspect's apartment it had already been established that he was licenced for at least 4 weapons at the time of his arrest: 1 Astra pistol (cal 22). I Glock pistol (cal 10mm), 1 Spandau Mauser rifle (cal 308) and a Smith & Wesson revolver (357 magnum). All of the weapons mentioned, except the Smith & Wesson revolver, had been found previous to the time for my meeting with him on 2 May 1997. He stated that the missing weapon was kept in a security deposit drawer in a Nedbank branch in Durban. At my request I was given a letter", addressed to The Manager. Nedbank Bank, Smith Street (Durban), giving me access to his bank drawer and hox in the afore-mentioned bank. On 21 May 1997 on a visit to the hank. 1 removed the revolver, and other items, from both the drawer and the box. A list of the removed items is attached."
