AN INQUEST into the alleged apartheid police murder of South African communist Ahmed Timol reopened in Johannesburg yesterday after 45 years.
The 1972 inquest accepted the police version of events that Mr Timol killed himself by jumping out of the narrow 10th-floor window of the John Vorster Square security services building on October 27 1971 during an interrogation.
More than 70 political prisoners died at the John Vorster Square, with police claiming the deaths were accidents or suicides.
