A prisoner is reported dead after allegedly suffering torture on Sunday at Langcok Military Prison in Rumbek, Lakes State.
Matur Majak Kedit is said to have died after torture and was buried immediately by the authorities in Langcok.A source told Good News Radio that Mr Matur was accused of assisted murder during the November 2012 sectional clashes of Rumbek Central County.
Mr Majak was tried and made to pay a compensation of 31 cows.
He was part of Rumbek Central Prisons inmates who made a failed escape months ago and was transferred to Langcok Military prison as a result.
The source said the news of Majak’s death shocked the family who had paid part of compensation cows as required by law.
The source added that there has been no official communication from the authorities of how he died.
The family was informed by an insider at the military barracks.
The source said the death of Mr Majak has awakened fears that many prisoners reported to have been moved from Langcok to unknown locations could be dead already.
