Former MP Fletcher Dulini Ncube, who was falsely accused of murdering Zanu-PF activist Cain Nkala in 2002, is reported to have recently gone completely blind as the long-term effects of the torture and medical deprivation he suffered in police custody took their toll, swradio reported.
Two other MDC activists accused of the Nkala murder back in 2002, Remember Moyo and Khethani Sibanda, have since died as a result of injuries suffered while in custody.
At the time of his acquittal, Dulini Ncube said he had lost one eye during his incarceration because police deprived him of vital medication he needed for his diabetes.
All three MDC members were eventually acquitted of the charges, but never quite recovered from the effects of the torture they suffered while in police detention.
