called split skin grafting. In the theatre, another problem was discovered. Complainant had developed an abscess on the left leg adjacent to the ulcer because of the infection. The abscess was tracking up the bone. It was drained but it is a risk to the split skin grafting taking. Complainant A was expected to be in hospital for another two weeks, depending on whether the skin grafting takes well. 8.1.6 The doctor highlighted that the gas-forming infection might have long-term challenges for Complainant because it might lead to chronic osteomyelitis, i.e. bone infection because the infection seems to be arising from or very close to the bone. Infections of the bone however take longer to show on the X-ray. 8.1.7 There is no Medical Report as yet. 8.1.8 On the psychological aspect, the doctor indicated that initially, Complainant A was quite depressed and did not want to communicate.

Complainant A feels that he will have problems adjusting his feelings and thoughts towards the police, including acceptance of his friends who are uniformed police officers. 8.1.9 The doctor gave his opinion based on the patients he had treated who sustained police dog bites on incidences that occurred on the 4th of July. He indicated that the dog attacks seem to be by decision and instruction as the target and direction of the dog bites was at specific areas.
