fare since he was still a student and his brother whom he stays with had incurred expenses due to the incident would find it difficult to continue funding the trips. 8.3.6 Complainant I scored highly on his psychological assessment as he got 11/14. He was depressed and angry because he had been assaulted for no apparent reason as he had only gone to Epworth to visit his sister and did not even take part in the clashes between the police and the touts. The pending court also weighed heavily on his mind and he was anxious about the outcome.

There was however, significant hematoma or bruising on the buttocks on both sides. These were evident marks of being beaten with something blunt like a sjambok. This caused myoglobenuria whereby muscles break down and cause myoglobin to be absorbed in the blood thereby affecting the kidneys. At one point complainant’s urine was not coming out as a result. He had to be resuscitated and given fluids in Page 24 of 37
