The family of a mentally disabled teen, killed by an angry mob in Samora Machel, Cape Town, says the police have let them down.
15-year-old Thando Hani was beaten to death after he
was wrongfully accused of theft.
A thief, aware of his mental state, allegedly gave the boy
stolen items after realizing residents were searching for him.
Thando's family says the police, instead of helping them,
told them to go and investigate the case themselves.
After the horrific
murder of Hani, who was attacked by a mob accusing him of breaking into a house
and making off with cellphones and cash, his distraught grandmother says, the
teen was so brutally beaten, they couldn’t even dress him in the funeral
clothes they had bought.
She says the police has let them down.
