A commuter omnibus owner was savagely attacked by six rouge police officers while he was handcuffed after accusing him of touting at Egodini bus terminus in Bulawayo.

Following the attack in May last year, Malvin Ncube aged 26,  had to urinate through a tube for three weeks.

According to reports, the cops stripped Ncube of his t-shirt, stuffed it in his mouth and took turns to assault him with a sjambok  while he was handcuffed.

The cops are Prichard Moyo (27), Fortune Phiri (28), Jonathan Musonga (37), Stafford Ncube (26), Collen Sibanda (25) and Melody Ncube (29).

Magistrate  Charity Maphosa remanded them out of custody to January 25.

The brutal incident as narrated by prosecutor Jeremiah Mutsindikwa saw Ncube being detained from  10AM  to 5PM.

After he was handcuffed  he was taken to Bulawayo Central Police Station.

An iron rod was placed between his elbows and below his knees and started assaulting him several times with a sjambok, Chronicle reported.

Ncube was detained until 5PM when he paid a $10 fine.
