Official record of
the canine inspection at 23h20 on 2 August 2007 at
the Municipal Pavilion of Lagos, [situated in]
Lagos.
The ten participants are indicated as being five PJ
Chief Inspectors (2)/Inspectors (3); The UK NPIA
officer (Harrison); the UK dog handler (Grime); the
Portuguese-speaking officer from Scotland Yard (Freitas);
and the two UK English Springer spaniels - Eddy and
Kila.
Following the search effected at Rua das Flores, 27,
during which certain items were seized, this present
inspection was performed, in a place appropriated
for its purpose, attempting to identify particular
pieces of clothing possibly indicated by the dogs,
namely Eddy [that] indicates cadaver odours and Kila
[that] indicates blood odours.
In these terms, the pieces of clothing recovered
[from the home] were laid out individually in
accordance with instructions given by the British
technicians, the dogs [then] walking the area where
they [those pieces of clothing] were laid out by
order and with the following results described
below.
1. Between 23h20 and 23h30 the two dogs were allowed
to reconoitre the entire area to guarantee that
there were no existing odours - and none were
detected by them.
2. Between 23h30 and 23h40 items from the box
labelled 'common room' were inspected by the blood
dog without result.
- At 23h41 the cadaver dog began its inspection and
'marked' some clothing on the edge of the area. The
inspection ended at 23h52 with the clothing having
been collected for later direct examination and
photographic report.
3. Clothes from the box labelled Lounge ("sitting
room") were inspected by the blood dog between 00h02
(now 3 August) and 00h05 without any result. The
same clothes were inspected by the cadaver dog
between 00h06 and 00h07 also without any result.
4. Then the suitcase labelled 'Twins bedroom' was
inspected, followed by two sets of inspections of
its contents due to the large number of individual
pieces it contained: the blood dog inspected [the
first set] between 00h12 and 00h15, and then [the
second set] between 00h22 and 00h24 - both without
any result.
The cadaver dog inspected [set one] between 00h16
and 00h17, then [set two] between 00h25 and 00h26,
also without any result.
5. An empty suitcase labelled 'Visitors bedroom' was
inspected, along with sundry clothing packed in a
box labelled Outside Clothes rack. Between 00h40 and
00h43 the blood dog inspected without any result,
and in its turn the cadaver dog inspected between
00h44 and 00h45, also without any result.
6. The clothes packed in the box labelled "couple's
bedroom 1" was inspected by the blood dog between
00h51 and 00h55, while the cadaver dog inspected it
between 00h56 and 0057 without any result from
either dog.
because there were so many pieces of clothing in the
box a second inspection was conducted between 01h04
and 01h07 by the blood dog, and between 01h08 and
01h09 by the cadaver dog, [again] without any result
from either dog.
7. The clothes packed in the box labelled "couple's
bedroom 2" was inspected by the cadaver dog between
01h20 and 01h22, then the blood dog between 01h23
and 01h25. Nothing abnormal was detected by either
dog.
Attached, the photo report which immediately follows
and the video recording on MiniDV cassette.
There being nothing more the activity stopped at
01h30.
This document is drawn up to ratify the truth of the
above and it is going to be signed by all
participants.
