| Description: |
This document by the Department of Justice, dated 27 June 1972 contains the inquest findings on the death of Ahmed Timol. Timol fell to his death from the 10th floor of John Vorster Square on 27 October 1971. The police claimed that Timol had committed suicide; an excuse backed up by the official inquest, even though state pathologist Dr Jonathan Gluckman noted that Timol's body showed signs of being beaten before his death.
This document is included in "Between Life and Death: Stories from John Vorster Square" - a DVD produced as part of this project.
Included in SAHA online exhibition - 'Between Life and Death: Stories from John Vorster Square', 2012. |
