Police investigate murder in prison
Cape Argus
|April 29, 2025
THE death of a high-ranking inmate at Goodwood Prison has officially been ruled as a murder investigation following allegations that he was beaten by Department of Correctional Services (DCS) officials and mauled by dogs.
Two months after the horrific death of Quinton "Questions" Fortuin, 39, police are now probing what led to the fatal beating as his family lawyer has collected damning proof against DCS officials amid allegations about a cover-up.
The incident in February saw desperate inmates write letters begging for an investigation into the alleged actions by the Emergency Support Team (EST).
According to two letters received, Fortuin, who is a general of the 26s gang, was embroiled in an argument with wardens and allegedly stabbed one of them.
The inmates claim during the scuffle, EST teams arrived and locked Fortuin in a single cell where they continuously beat him before allowing dogs to bite him.
Fortuin's lawyer, Attorney Labiek Samuels, said over 60 calls to the prison went unanswered as he tried to ascertain what happened.
