The South African Human
Rights commission says they are going to be engaging with the Independent
Police Investigative Directorate about allegations of evidence tampering by
police at the Marikana massacre crime scene.
This after the Farlam
Commission heard yesterday that an array of traditional weapons had been placed
around the bodies of miners who were killed in the shootings in August.
The Commission’s Pandelis
Gregoriou says they are extremely concerned that the crime scene was not
sufficiently guarded.
He added that there are clear
standards in place for securing crime scenes for both internationally and
domestically where mass violence has taken place.
He said that they want to
encourage the people involved who are responsible to make use of the clear
standards and that the decisions is up to the Farlam Commission to determine
the accuracy of the evidence.
He noted that the Commission
are concerned about the allegations.
