“These so-called police officers treated my brother like an armed robber. He was mishandled and mercilessly beaten for a long period which resulted in his death the following morning.
“About six police officers with three in uniform stormed the area for an operation and had an altercation with my brother, restrained him to the ground, kicked and punched him in the face before some of the officers started butchering him with a machete,” he narrated.
