J. First I used the Stockholm switchboard, they have such a nice thing that you have to press a talk button and then you end up on a queue. But then there is an alarm button that I could have also pressed but I didn't think of that. But then I had the Solna radio on the side, I just shouted at it.
F. What is your taxi number?
J. 34
F. 3 47
J. Yes. So I just shouted at it. Then I got to the switchboard there, then it was completely silent there. But then they probably counted because they got back to me later, huh? So, when the police were on their way then, but the Järfälla car used before that maybe, or at the same time it must have done it.
Q. When you were parked, was it right at the mouth of Tunnelgatan up towards the stairs so you had a view into..?
J. Yes, I was standing so I blocked the entrance to Tunnelgatan, into the alley so to speak.
Q. Go back now, you said you heard a shot, and then you hear another one and..
J. Then I'll turn around.
Q. How far apart were these shots? Was it a minute or was it faster?
J. No no, it was yes, think, 2-3 seconds something, no 2 seconds, it's hard to say exactly but it was, bang bang and then people were screaming.
F: So there were two quick shots?
J. Yes but not right away, it must have been some weapon you have to fight for maybe, I don't know but. But it was more like bang and then bang again right away.
F. A couple of seconds?
J. Yes, max. Then I turn around immediately because then I hear people screaming all around. And then if I didn't know then I understand then that there is something scary here and then I went but my first thought was that it was someone, yes like that Kurd or something that you have read about in the newspapers who gets shot down. No one recognized him at all when he was lying there anyway.
F. When you turn around here after the second shot, do you see if we say it's Palme, falling down? Or had he already fallen into the street?
J. He, I wonder if he wasn't on his way the last bit down then, and then she threw herself at him there.
F. She, is that Lisbeth?
J. Yes Lisbeth Palme yes. And then he runs away then, full speed. But when I get there, he's already about 25 meters in. So then I'm sitting in the car and I start shouting and I see him running away.
Q. Did you see if anyone picked up the pursuit of him?
J. No, they say someone did it, but I don't see anyone at all, on the whole road, on that whole straight stretch, I don't see anyone.
