‘This has affected us socially and emotionally’
“The notion that we were made the subject of a contract to kill has affected us socially and emotionally.
“The degree of planning and the nature of the contract and the person by whom the contract was initiated, particularly in light of her relationship with our father, has exasperated [sic] the situation for us.
“As the injured parties we have become more self-conscious and are now constantly looking over our shoulders and are ill at ease. The crime has impacted on our respective social and business lives.
“We are not as confident as we were and we feel that the respect that had existed among our peers in our business dealings is not the same as it used to be. Further-more, we believe the incident has weakened the quality of our relationship with our father.
“We cannot understand how we were propelled from our normal daily lives into such a national drama and shudder at the realisation that, had the plan been affected, we could have been poisoned to death.
“We believe it will take a long time, if at all, before we can put the incident behind us.”
