The two police ranks who tortured a teenaged boy at the Leonora Police Station in 2009 during a murder investigation were recently promoted.
According to the police’s list of promotions issued earlier this month, Narine Lall was promoted from sergeant to inspector while Mohanram Dolai was promoted from constable to corporal. In November 2009, the duo had appeared in court charged with burning the genitals of a 15-year-old boy with intent to maim, disfigure, disable or cause him grievous bodily harm. The criminal case against them was subsequently dismissed
