Eight police officers to appear in Vanderbijlpark Court─── 12:25 Sat, 06 Oct 2018
Eight police officers are expected to appear in the Vanderbijlpark Magistrate's Court on Monday on charges of murder and torture.
SABC reports that the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) yesterday arrested six men and two women for the murder of a Nigerian national, Ibrahim Badmus, who was tortured and murdered in Vanderbijlpark on the Vaal in October last year.
IPID Spokesperson Moses Dlamini says it’s alleged that the police officers interrogated the deceased and suffocated him resulting in his death.
According to the police, they had found drugs on the deceased but this was a false story to cover up the torture and murder.
The post-mortem was conducted by two pathologists and it confirmed that the deceased was indeed tortured.
