A father has accused police of murdering his son during a gang-related operation in Durban. Gregory Loftus, a former police officer, testified before the Madlanga Commission that his son, Bevan Loftus, was deliberately killed by law enforcement on April 1, 2023. Loftus described the operation as a cover for an intentional killing, claiming it was not a legitimate police action. Bevan Loftus was previously linked to criminal activities and was considered a gang leader. The commission is investigating the circumstances surrounding his death. Loftus maintains his son’s innocence and suggests the operation was orchestrated by rivals and police. The case has raised questions about the legality and intent of the operation. The commission is expected to release its findings soon.
