Daily Sun (March 8 2013) - ANOTHER horror story has emerged about the police station that people now call the cop shop from hell... This time a grieving family tells a story that allegedly begins with a brutal beating in police cells and ends with a broken body on the ground. WHAT THE FAMILY FOUND WAS THE BODY OF A TORTURED MAN WHO THEY THINK DIED PLEADING FOR MERCY!

"The cops killed him like a dog, leaving him to bleed to death," claimed Thalitha Radebe-Motsepe (63), the mother of Gilly Radebe (40). Gilly's bruised body lay on the ground under a silver thermal sheet outside a holding cell near the charge office. "The scar on Gilly's stomach from an operation had burst open. His mouth was wide open. He looked as if he died screaming for help," claimed Thalitha. See the Daily Sun's mobi site for more...
