Yet for the Nyoka family, closure remains elusive; they still have unanswered questions about their son's murder.

The Foundation for Human Rights says there's hope justice will reach all who suffered under apartheid-era injustices.

Both accused officers have been remanded in custody until the 11th December, when the court will determine their bail applications.
