Fight Over Girlfriend Leaves Student Hospitalised

FRANCISTOWN: A fierce fight that broke out between two Mater Spei students on Wednesday has left one of them hospitalised at Nyangabgwe Referral Hospital.

The two were apparently fighting over a girl. An insider at the school has revealed that the student is likely to miss out on a few of the Botswana General Certificate of Secondary Education (BGCSE) examinations, which end on November 17.

The source added that rumours are flying thick and fast that the incident happened after hours but within the school premises. The source divulged that the suspect found the complainant talking to his girlfriend (also a student). This apparently did not go down well with the suspect who accused the complainant of trying to destroy his relationship. He reportedly couldn’t hold is his temper and got physical. The complainant retaliated with fists but was plummeted to a pulp and left sprawled on the ground, bleeding.
