MOZAMBIQUE: Murders point to p
The arrest of three detectives in May for the execution-style murders of civilians has compounded the notoriety of the police in Maputo, Mozambique's capital city.
On 4 April the bodies of three men, each shot several times in the head at close range, were discovered on a football pitch near the city's Costa do Sol beach. Three officers of the criminal investigation unit reportedly confessed to the killings, but alleged that superiors had ordered them to commit the crimes.
"The police had an opportunity, after the Costa do Sol executions, to clean up their image, because... Read more

New police group-sex claims pr
The police have launched an investigation into claims of inappropriate sexual behaviour by officers in the Bay of Plenty as recently as five years ago.
The Government ordered an urgent police report, prompted by allegations in a Sunday newspaper of group sex in 2001 involving convicted rapist Brad Shipton and two other former officers.
An unnamed woman also claims that from the 1990s until 2002, she regularly had sex with serving police officers, who were often sexually violent and abusive. She claims they would arrive while on duty and used handcuffs and batons on her, and that she was often strangled to the point of blacking out.
A six-page spread in The Sunday News shows pictures of Shipton with a naked woman, and video footage of a woman and three men having group sex. The newspaper says a television channel playing in the background dates the video to late 2001.
Sunday News editor Chris Baldock says he will ask his source whether she wants the police to see the evidence. However, he says the woman may not want to take the matter further, as she has little faith that it will be taken seriously.
Shipton denies police officers involved
Brad Shipton says none of the men involved in the sex incident the newspaper publicised were serving police officers.
In a statement through his lawyer, the convicted rapist says the sex was consensual, and neither he nor the other men involved were police officers at the time.
He says the pictures are of the only sexual encounter he had with the woman.
Commission of inquiry report due
The claims come just days before the release of a commission of inquiry's report into police conduct, which was sparked by allegations of rape by Louise Nicholas.
Shipton and another former police officer, Bob Schollum, and the suspended Assistant Police Commissioner Clint Rickards were last year cleared of raping Mrs Nicholas when she was a teenager in Rotorua in the 1980s.
Ms King says the latest claims will not change the commission's findings, which are due to be delivered to the Governor General on Friday.
