PAUSE

At 1425 hours on 15 August 2009, the National Operations Centre received a report of a group of children seen playing with what was described as a bomb.  The incident location was reported to be at the rear of the International Stabilisation Forces (ISF) Compound in MetinaroDelta.

At 1445 hours a Metinaro Delta patrol with call sign Metinaro Delta 20 arrived at the scene.  Upon arrival UNPOL Team Leader, Thomas White and his colleague, Peter Smith saw a group of six young children playing with something about 400m west of the ISF compound.  As they approached the group they saw that they were playing with 4 hand grenades and were throwing them to each other.

Metinaro Delta 20 immediately told the boys to place the grenades on the ground and move away from them.  They saw that the grenades still had the pins intact and became concerned that they were live grenades.  They then cordoned off the area with tape and advised the National Operations Centre to send the EOD team to assess the situation.  The young boys said they found the grenades near the compound after heavy rain and had been playing with them for a few hours.

At 1510 hrs an EOD team from Dili arrived at the scene.  They took the grenades for disposal and deemed considered the area safe a short time later.

At 1645hrs Metinaro Delta 20 was advised to return to Metinaro Delta Police Station as there was a complainant there wishing to file a case.  The patrol returned and spoke to a complainant namely, Mrs Maria Collins, a 23 year old female from the village of Black Creek.   Mrs Collins stated she had been assaulted by her husband, Steven Collins, in the early hours of that morning. 

Mrs Collins had swelling and bruising to her right cheek and eye as well as a cut to her right arm.  Through a language assistant the patrol was able to determine that her husband arrived home drunk and yelled at her because there was nothing to eat.  When she did not respond he proceeded to punch and hit her around the face and body, only stopping when she didn’t move any more.  Mrs Collins had been to the local clinic to seek treatment and they advised her to report the matter to the police.

Metinaro Delta 20 took a statement from Mrs Collins and then conveyed her to her home which is about 15 minutes drive from the Police Station.  Enquiries are continuing into this matter.

You will now hear a conversation between the Metinaro Officer in Charge, Michael Peters and UNPOL, Thomas White.
