National Police Commissioner Bheki Cele says the members allegedly involved in the killing of Cope election candidate Andries Tatane in Ficksburg will not be suspended until an investigation has been completed.

Around 14 police members are being questioned in connection with the beating during Wednesday’s service delivery protest in the Free State Town.

The attack sparked a national outcry after being shown on national television. But Cele says officials will be given the benefit of the doubt while there is no prima facie evidence of what happened.
