Pretoria - Sentencing procedures against eight former policemen, who have been convicted of killing Mozambican taxi driver, Mido Macia, are expected to resume in the High Court in Pretoria, on Tuesday morning.
Macia was found dead in a holding cell at the Daveyton Police Station after being dragged through the streets and handcuffed to the back of a police van in February 2013.
The eight policemen, Meshack Malele (46), Thamsamqa Mgema (35), Percy Jonathan Mnisi (26), Bongamusa Mdluli (25), Sipho Sydwell Ngobeni (30), Lungisa Gwababa (31), Bongani Kolisi (27) and Linda Sololo (56) had all pleaded not guilty.
But last month the policemen were found guilty of killing Macia, with Judge Bert Bam rejecting their testimony, saying he was satisfied that the state had been able to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. - SAnews.gov.za
