South African police have been accused of planting weapons near the bodies of workers killed during strikes at the Marikana platinum mine.



Photographs taken by police suggested large knives had been placed near the bodies after they had been shot, a lawyer told an inquest into the deaths.
Thirty-four miners were killed when police opened fire on the striking workers at the mine in August.
The police have claimed they were acting in self-defence.
