External Inquiry Report
Date: 08-11-2007
Place: P da L
Executing Officers: dos Santos,
Rodrigo and Ricardo Paiva
Description
On this date at about 14.30 we went
to P da L where we personally
contacted Engineer Pereira, already
interviewed on page 1652, with the
aim of being shown as exactly as
possible the sites, where on 3rd May
there were open trenches for the
water, electricity and telephone
networks, which were left open
without any kind of supervision
during the night of 3rd May.
Together with the works foreman, Sr
Afonso, we were shown that on that
specific date, two trenches were
open, one located at Rua Helena do
Nascimiento Batista (Photos 1 and 2
shown on the annexed map as Area 1)
and another situated in Rua Direita
(Photos 3 and 4, shown on the map as
Area 2).
Using two pieces of red plastic
tubing, the exact site of the areas
where the open trenches were
situated was indicated (see photos
in annex).
Both men told us that the trenches
were 1.20 m deep and 0.9m long and
various plastic tubes of different
sizes were placed within them for
the water, electricity and telephone
networks.
With relation to the type of soil
that was on the trenches in
question, we were told that was a
rocky soil and that only using
machinery would it be possible to
carry out any kind of excavation.
But it was stated that after the
opening of each trench a
“regularisation” process is used at
the base of the trench, clearing all
the earth and rocks resulting from
the digging and immediately the base
of the trench is covered with pieces
of rock or sand that act as support
for the placing of the water pipes
and the tubes inside which the
electricity and phone cables pass.
We were told that on the morning of
4th May, when work resumed on the
trenches, all the workers who were
employed in opening the trenches,
including the Engineer and the
Foreman, already knew about the
disappearance of an English girl
from P da L, which is the reason
that they carefully checked all the
trenches that had been left open on
the preceding night, in the
eventuality that the girl could have
fallen in by accident, however
nothing was found.
They say that given the normal
procedures followed in these kinds
of works, it would be extremely
difficult to bury or hide a human
body, not only under the trenches in
question without the grave being
immediately detected by the workmen.
