Witness testimony and forensic evidence challenge official account of Mabelane’s death

Sambo family alleges police statement on teen’s death was fabricated

  The family of slain 18-year-old, Nhlamulo Sambo, has rejected the police version that he was killed during a robbery incident gone wrong in Mossel Bay.
