A gentleman came and told me that he was from the Funeral Office and that he had come to get the corpse. I saw my father, she was covered with a jacket. The first thing I saw was the wound in his hand. The thumb was cut. I said I want to see him. They took out the jacket. I see my father beaten in the face in too many places.
