JOHANNESBURG - The Department of Correctional Services says it is in talks with security company G4S to get to the bottom of what transpired on the day Thabo Bester allegedly died.
The company guards the prison where Bester was jailed.
It insists the man who died at the Mangaung Correctional Centre in May, last year, was indeed Bester.
Rapist and murderer Bester was said to have died in a fire in his cell a year ago.
