Cosatu condemns court ruling over laundry murders

There has been widespread dissatisfaction with the release of the six people who had been accused of murdering three laundry workers at a dry cleaning business in Three Rivers in Vereeniging. Labour union Cosatu has also expressed its dismay at the presiding magistrate’s finding that there was insufficient evidence against the accused. Cosatu has called for the transformation of the judiciary, to ensure that the majority of all legal officials are representative of the majority of the people. The Federation also called on the SAPS to reinvestigate the case thoroughly.
