Wife of late EMPD officer claims torture
After repeatedly hitting and suffocating her, Dlamini claims that she confessed, hoping that they would stop hurting her.
Sbongile Dlamini claims that she was tortured into confessing to the murder of her husband Banele Skosana (33).
Dlamini appeared for the third time at the Springs Magistrate’s Court on Thursday. In a written affidavit, read by her attorney, Dlamini told the court that she was tortured for hours on February 14.
The court heard how, after she was apprehended by officers, she was taken to Kwa-Thema SAPS.
She claims that she was in a room at the station with a few officers, who kept insisting that she tell the truth about her involvement in her husband’s murder.
“I told them that I was innocent,” it read.
Dlamini claims that the officers grew frustrated. She said they ordered her to take off her skirt and underwear, and to wear a diaper, which she did.
