Two men who were allegedly in detention at Morokweng Police Station, near Ganyesa, burned at the back of a police bakkie. Even though details surrounding the incident are still sketchy, it is alleged that the atrocity took place on Monday.
One person died on the scene, while the other one was ferried to the local hospital for medical attention. According to a witness, two men were allegedly detained temporarily because of nuisance behaviour.
“At least one person died in this incident, while the other was taken to hospital by paramedics in critical condition,” our source said.
Meanwhile, the North West police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Amanda Funani said: “Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone requested that you give us time and he will handle your inquiry. The police are busy investigating the matter.”
