A father of a 19-year-old young man was heart broken when he was told by the police that his son had been beaten to death.

One fine day, a group of men knocked on the man's door in Protea Glen in Soweto, a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa, reports Daily Sun newspaper. The men claimed that his son had stolen mobile phones and a video game.

The dad could see that the men had his son's friend in their custody. He spotted the young fellow lying in the boot of the car in which the men had arrived. He seemed to have been beaten up brutally.

When his son arrived home later, the father told his son that a group of people had come looking for him.

Fearing for the safety of his son, the man approached the police officials for protection, but they were told that the police could not do anything in this matter.

The following day when the gang members arrived again at their doorstep, the father told his son to go with the men.

The father was assured that his son would be returned to him safely. But later, the father was informed that his son was beaten to death with planks which had nails in them.

The suspects were arrested by police and will appear in court to face charges.
