11 cops return to court for allegedly murdering Manenberg resident

Eleven Western Cape anti-gang unit (AGU) members are set to return to Athlone Magistrates Court on Thursday for the alleged murder of a Manenberg resident, Wade Price.

Price was arrested in December and died after allegedly being suffocated while being interrogated about a murder outside Athlone Magistrates Court.

When the officers last appeared in court in January, police used crime scene tape to separate protesters who came to support the AGU accused from Manenberg residents who gathered to seek justice for Price.

The 11 AGU members accused of murdering Price have since been released on bail after being charged with murder, kidnapping, assault, torture and defeating the ends of justice.

When the accused appeared in court in January, the State indicated its investigation is still ongoing.

The prosecution indicated they had received the postmortem report related to the incident, but the DNA report and crime scene reports were still outstanding.
