Cop accused of allegedly torturing schoolboy (16) over cellphone

A BULAWAYO police officer and a city council security officer are accused of abducting and brutally assaulting a schoolboy (16), leaving him for dead after pulling his private parts.

The two accused the boy of stealing a cell phone at a carwash last month.

The boy has since filed a police report at the West Commonage Police Station, which enabled him to be attended to at the United Bulawayo Hospital.
