The decision on whether to charge [Stephan] Jones would be announced tomorrow in court. If Jones is charged, he and Beikman may stand together as accused and in that case the inquiry will have to start all over again.

3. Magistrate Christian today also ruled the second statement regarding the Amos killings made by Beikman, on Nov 23, was inadmissible as evidence. Christian agreed with McKay that the statement had not been made freely and voluntarily.

4. As stated above, the inquiry is scheduled to resume tomorrow morning.
