"I don't want to speak to the police. Why? What for? Why do they want to speak to me? They all know one of them killed my son.... they killed my son. They didn't come and tell me my son was dead till four weeks later, then they come with the Commissioner of Police to say sorry they never told me.
"I will fight for as long as I live. I know my son he's not capable of what they say he's doing. No way.
"Leave me and leave my family alone, because we're not troubling nobody and we're not troubling them [the police]."
