Eyewitnesses reported hearing his desperate cries for help as he was assaulted by a group of individuals.
Despite pleading that he was not a thief but a prison officer, his attackers ignored him and continued the beating until he died.
His body was later dumped in a gutter near Hope of Restoration School, near Red Ball.
On October 1, police recovered the body days after the incident, which showed multiple wounds, including suspected stab injuries and blunt force trauma caused by stones.
