Inmate beaten to death by prison wardens
According to reports, correctional service officers at Section 16 of the prison beat inmate, Ayanda Nasanda, to death
DAMNING allegations surfaced late last week implicating a number of correctional service officers for the murder of an inmate at Qalakabusha Prison on Wednesday.
According to reports, correctional service officers at Section 16 of the prison beat inmate, Ayanda Nasanda, to death.
Reports indicate that Nasanda succumbed to his injuries on Wednesday morning, having been allegedly severely beaten by the warders.
It has also been alleged that Nasanda’s body was only removed on Thursday afternoon.
The ZO received information alleging the prime suspect in the case, the head of Section 16 where the deceased is said to have been murdered, is on the run after the officials who were on duty that day were suspended.
The suspect, whose identity is known to the ZO, faces further allegations of hospitalising another inmate earlier this month.
George Masango is said to have been brutally assaulted for the suspected sale of dagga in prison.
Masango was admitted to Ngwelezana Hospital owing to the injuries he sustained during the beating.
The Department of Correctional Services have not yet issued a statement on the incidents.
