...fatal head injury a full day before the alleged struggle with the police. Presumably he will also bear down on the fact that out of 28 affidavits sworn to by policemen and doctors, not one mentioned that Biko had knocked his head against a wall. Kentridge's implicit point: that the story was invented later by one or more of the participants to head off a possible murder charge...
