Eight South African police officers were charged with murder on Friday for the death of a Mozambican taxi driver who was dragged hundreds of meters handcuffed to a police van for parking in the wrong spot.
Their arrests came hours after South Africa's police commisioner said they had been disarmed and
suspended for "callous and unacceptable behaviour". The station
commander has also been removed from his post pending investigation.
Mido Macia, 27, was filmed being manhandled, handcuffed
and dragged by a police van through the streets to a police station east of
Johannesburg. Some two hours later, he was found dead in custody, with a
post mortem finding the cause of death head injuries with internal bleeding.
The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) has opened a murder investigation.
