CAPE TOWN - The inquest into the death of the late Imam Abdullah Haron has been reinvigorated at the Western Cape High Court.
The anti-apartheid activist’s lifeless body was discovered on 27 September 1969.
He died while in police custody at the Maitland Police Station.
On Monday, the court heard evidence from the commander of the police’s Cold Case Investigation Unit.
He testified that there were no records of the investigations into Haron’s death.
The Haron family say they're disappointed by the first day's testimony as it failed to shed more light on their father's death.
Court proceedings continue on Tuesday after an oversight visit to the two police stations where he had been kept.
