Charles Daniels echoed murder accused Jeremy Sias’ claims of being assaulted by the police after being arrested in connection with Meghan Cremer’s disappearance.Daniels showed Judge Elizabeth Baartman a small scar he claims he sustained after a police dog was set on him.
Daniels lives on a main road and drove the car to a more central spot because he didn’t want it parked in plain sight. At the police station’s parking area, Daniels said he and Sias were tied together and asked where the woman was.“I told them I don’t know anything about a woman. Then started assaulting me and Jeremy.”
Daniels said when they were taken to Pollsmoor Prison, they were assaulted by the warders who had read about them in the media.“There was a time where we had to hide from the [warders] between other inmates. They said ons het die vrou opgeklim [we had raped her] and as they said these words, they would assault us.”Daniels pleaded guilty to the charge of possession of stolen property and was handed a four year sentence, of which he served a year.
