Pretoria - Apartheid-era police minister Adriaan Vlok was handed a suspended 10-year prison sentence on Friday after pleading guilty to charges of attempting to murder a leading black activist cleric in 1989.

State advocate Anton Ackerman told the Pretoria High Court the sentence would be suspended for five years.

Vlok, his former police chief Johann van der Merwe and three lower-ranking policemen, pleaded guilty on a charge of the attempted murder of anti-apartheid activist Frank Chikane, now adviser to President Thabo Mbeki, by poisoning his underwear.
