Witness statement
Fabio Alexandre Rodrigues
Marques
Date: 2007-05-31
Occupation: Machine Operator
He comes to the process as a witness.
He works for the company Canana and Sons since the 1st May of
this year carrying out the functions of machine operator, having
signed a work contract on the same date. That since this time,
he began works on the works already in progress on some of the
roads in P da L. According to his functions since 1st May, the
witness began to open passages in the main roads using a mini
drill, these passages were destined for the installation of
electrical cables and drains for rain water respectively, in Rua
Direita.
When questioned, the witness replies that the passages and holes
made were generally covered up on the same day they were made.
In relation to other openings that could have remained open
during the night, from one day to another, the witness says that
in the case of the passages, anyone who would fall in would be
visible from the road and that the other openings were too small
for a two year old child to fall in. The witness adds that these
openings would in turn be linked to a series of conducts of a
larger size, knowing that in order to link an opening to a
conduct, an orifice would be opened in the latter, opened up
using a drill. These conducts would have round metallic covers.
He saw some of these covers open, for the purposes of being
levelled with the pavement, however he knows they were closed at
the end of the working day.
When questioned, the witness says that he remembers that on the
day following the disappearance, on 4th May, various GNR
officers with dogs appeared on the scene, who had come to
examine the possibility that the girl might be in one of the
openings. The witness says that following the events he paid
more attention to the work site and never saw anything abnormal,
namely the fact that the missing child could be there.
When asked, the witness says that he considers that there were
no openings, that due to their size, location or to being open
could present a risk for a child to fall in and disappear.
No more is said. Reads, ratifies and signs. |
