Taxi driver handcuffed to back of police van and dragged to his death as cops responsible are suspended in South Africa
This is the face of the taxi driver handcuffed to the back of a police van and dragged to his death in South Africa over an alleged parking dispute.
Video footage captured on a mobile phone shows officers attaching Mido Macia, 27, to the back of their van and brazenly speeding off before a crowd of horrified onlookers.
The Mozambican immigrant was found dead in a police cell two hours later.
South Africa's police chief today said she shared 'the extreme shock and outrage' over the video footage, as she announced the officers involved had been suspended and the local police commander removed from his post.
General Riah Phiyega said she fully supports the investigation by the police watchdog agency and added the rights of Mr Macia were 'violated in the most extreme form'.
Investigators are said to have been told that the taxi driver assaulted one of the police officers and took his gun.
But South Africa's Daily Sun today revealed new video footage which appears to contradict officers' version of events.
It appears to show the cab driver arguing with police officers with his hands by his side, before he is manhandled to the ground by up to five men in uniform.In this still frame, taxi driver Mida Macia is shown being dragged along the road by a moving police van, with his limbs carried by officers
Footage posted by a South African newspaper shows Mido Macia, dressed in a red jumper, black trousers and white trainers, being surrounded by police officers in a scuffle
A crowd gathered as at least four officers were seen to be manhandling Mr Macia

When Muslims and Christians weren't in good terms, Christian monks believe to have escaped the persecution and found a shelter within the walls of the persecuted tombs and temples of ancient Egypt, but ironically, those monks have ripped many of the reliefs on those tombs because they distracted them from practicing their religion, not to mention that the reliefs represented "fake" religion that they didn't want
    to be associated with. This is also probably one of the easiest forms of advertising, with only an advert designed for a specific box needing
    to be created. As of now, I can only speculate that there are more
    good than bad to go on-line for the newspaper publishers in Malaysia as apparently there has been no case where
    a newspaper publisher has gone bust. Somerset House Between 1776 and 1786, Somerset House wasbuilt on the site of a Tudor mansion built in 1547 by Edward Seymour,
