#4 Years ago, I watched an incredible documentary, showing a police "investigation" in Ivory Coast, supposedly an advanced country by african standards.
Procedure followed the death by hijacking of a police officer, and *all* the detective work consisted of waiting for tips by informants, and BEATING SENSESSLY suspects until they "confessed". Wash, rince, repeat as necessary. All this in front of the camera, a real snuff movie, except for a prolonged beating during a whole night which left suspects with broken bones and everything, and had them confess to the crime : false lead, start all over again.
Finally, perps were caught, and one was badly injured in a car accident; he was "interrogated" on the spot, despite being all broken up already, then taken to the hopital.
Next morning, he had disappeared. Escape? Nope, he died in the meantime, and the body was put in a tool house in the hospital's garden and forgotten. Case closed.
Mind boggling. |
