The Independent Complaints Directorate (ICD) is investigating three police officers for allegedly assaulting a man who later died in Mthatha on Tuesday, Eastern Cape police said.
Captain Zamukulungisa Jozana said one of the officers was the neighbour of the 33-year-old man whom he allegedly suspected of stealing his razor wire fence. The officer and two of his colleagues abducted the man from his home in Matyengqina and took him to a bridge where they assaulted him and left him. The man managed to crawl back to his house, where he told a neighbour about his assault. He died in his sleep and his body was found in his house on Tuesday morning.
Police opened a murder case against the officers and the ICD was investigating the case.
The three officers were yet to be arrested.
