After three years pursuing justice, the family of a Durban father is edging closer to closure as 18 police officers have been arrested. They face a raft of charges relating to his murder. 

On Tuesday, the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) arrested nine Durban police officers on nine counts relating to the murder of Regan Naidoo, 32, who died in police custody.

The officers, who appeared in the Durban regional court, are also charged with attempting to murder Fardeen Carim, who was taken into custody with Naidoo on August 28 2018, as well as kidnapping, torture and defeating the ends of justice in respect of both men. ..
