Today's Amandala reports that the five officers - two corporals and three constables - are on interdiction for allegedly assaulting Whylie's wife.

The paper reports that Mrs. Whylie saw the GSU arresting a male, and thought they were bring too rough. She cautioned them for what she thought was unnecessary roughness. That's when one of them allegedly injured her finger and another reportedly backed up a vehicle into her.

She made a complaint - and all five officers on the patrol were placed on interdiction. They remain on interdiction tonight even though only one or two officers were implicated in wrongdoing. The official position - as we understand it - from the police top brass is that all five had other complaints against them as well.
