The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) is investigating 11 murder cases relating to police actions during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Members of the public have raised allegations of heavy-handedness in the enforcement of the regulations.

Since March, 11 people have allegedly died at the hands of the police.

Over the past three months, Ipid has received 588 complaints from members of the public against the police.

They include 11 murder cases against officers.
