Pretoria – The justice and correctional services department on Saturday would not comment on a report that Chris Hani murderer Clive Derby-Lewis was chained to his hospital bed.
“We never discuss security measures with media and in public,” spokesperson Manelisi Wolela said.
The Saturday Star reported that Derby-Lewis, 78, was chained to his bed at the Eugene Marais Hospital in Pretoria, and that his legs were also shackled together.
Derby-Lewis is undergoing chemo and radiation therapy for lung cancer.
