More than three years after his death, the family of Dane Nair (26) of Albersville continues to seek answers.
Mr Nair’s body was found in his bakkie in front of the stairway leading to the entrance of the charge office at the Port Shepstone police station on June 27, 2016.
“We want closure, we want to know what transpired that night. We appeal to anyone who witnessed anything or was at the station to come forward,” said his sister Rani Landsberg.

It is believed Mr Nair had gone to the police station the day before he died to report that his life was in danger.
According to Mrs Landsberg, her brother had told many people that he was being threatened.
The family keeps in contact with the police, however, the case is at a point with no positive leads in terms of an arrest.
“Not knowing is the worst. Dane’s death has taken a toll on my parents. Emotionally, my mum has suffered greatly,” said Mrs Landsberg.
In October 2017, post-mortem results showed that Mr Nair had died from ‘unnatural causes which could have been as a result of smothering’.
He had sustained injuries to his body and his family said that he had put up a fight on the night he died.
“There is so much mystery surrounding his death. It took place on the doorstep of the police station. They didn’t hear or see anything, nor did they notify us. We heard of his death via the grapevine.”
The family is desperate for information. “Witnesses don’t have to come forward publicly. People we have spoken to are afraid to come forward for fear of being targeted,” said Mrs Landsberg.
If anyone has information to share, contact Mrs Landsberg on 064 492 4860.
