| PRIVATE Jake Kovco dreamt about his own death one month before he was fatally shot in Baghdad this year, an inquiry heard today. Senior counsel assisting the board of inquiry into Pte Kovco's death in Baghdad, Colonel Michael Griffin, said details of the soldier's alarming dream were recorded in his personal journal. Pte Kovco, 26, died after his own pistol discharged in his barracks in Baghdad on April 21. Col Griffin said Pte Kovco had dreamt about being shot and dying exactly one month before his tragic death. "You will hear evidence exactly one calender month before he died, Pte Jacob Kovco had a dream about his own death in almost the precise circumstances I have described," Col Griffin said in his opening address to the inquiry, which began in Sydney today. Col Griffin, who gave evidence via a video link from the Australian National Headquarters in Baghdad, also shed new light on the mysterious circumstances which led to Pte Kovco being shot in the head. |
