‘I just feel sorry for them. I wonder how they sleep after what they did,’ says victim’s father.

Twenty-two police officers appeared in the Durban Magistrates’ Court on Thursday on charges including murder, attempted murder, kidnapping and torture. The officers are currently out on R3,000 bail each.

Naidoo was picked up with two of his friends on 28 August 2018 by officers attached to the Durban K9 Unit, Chatsworth Trio Crime, Durban Flying Squad and provincial Organised Crime Units. It is believed that he was being held for questioning in connection with an unlicenced firearm that was used in a local crime.

On Thursday, 22 police officers, aged between 29 and 54, appeared in the Durban Magistrates’ Court. Their charges include murder, attempted murder, kidnapping and torture. Naidoo’s widow, his father Timothy Naidoo, and his aunt and uncle, Ruby and Jeffery Mahalingan, attended the hearing.
