But CID at Kutlwano Police Station, detective superintendent, Mosalagae Moseki said they are still investigating the matter and it is the autopsy report from the forensic pathologist that will give them direction. He said the police do not have anything to suggest that the case was a ritual murder. “In the absence of anything suggesting that the deceased was murdered for ritual purposes, then we can’t reach any conclusion unless there is something suggesting so.”
A 43-year-old woman, Chikadzi Buka, who hails from Senete village, is currently in custody after surrendering herself to the police in connection with the murder. Mmegi learnt that the woman has since tendered a confession statement to a judicial officer. “I can’t comment on that one,” Moseki said and added he feared it could jeopardise police investigations. “If the suspect has tendered a confession statement, then that would form part of evidence that cannot be discussed in the media.”
He indicated that police are on the trail of the traditional doctor who reportedly disappeared immediately after the ghastly murder.
Meanwhile, Buka is scheduled to appear for mention at the Francistown magistrates’ court today.
