Sentencing of ‘dragging’ cops postponed

The North Gauteng High Court, in Pretoria, postponed the sentencing of the eight former police officers convicted of Mozambican taxi driver Mido Macia's murder, on September 22.

“The pre-sentence reports are not ready yet,” Judge Bert Bam said.

“They have to be compiled by officers appointed by the defence.

“The reports will be ready within a month or so.

“Accordingly, this matter is now postponed.

“The accused are in custody until November 11, this year.”

Last month, Bam convicted the eight former police officers of murdering Macia, who was found dead in Daveyton Police Station’s holding cells, in February 2013, several hours after being dragged behind a police van.
