Accused claim to be strangers

Proclaiming innocence, Seloka told the court that in the afternoon of April 26, 2014 he arrived in Jwaneng for a pool party at Debswana Club. While he was still entertaining himself, he was approached by two police officers who searched him and found money and a cellphone in his possession. He said that the officers told him that his friend was in police cells. When they arrived there, Seloka said he found his co-accused Tshepo Molaodi, who he claimed in court that he did not know.

The second accused did not cross-examine Seloka prompting the prosecutor Sub-inspector Edwin Supang to ask the accused why he did not challenge the evidence.
