Suspected burglar gets serious beating :: Mmegi Online

RAMOTSWA: A 27-year-old man from Bobonong was thoroughly beaten by members of a family who caught him after a burglary at the home of a transport businessman on Saturday night. It is reported that Tshepo Kalajane landed in trouble after he failed to vault over the electric fence after the burglary. The family members caught him and gave him a severe beating, fracturing his arm.

Superintendent Mothusi Phadi of Ramotswa Police Station said Kalajane, together with two other unidentified suspects, had used a motor gate remote control to enter David Mogotsi’s house and stole P400 and Samsung S5 smartphone.

Phadi said that after stealing the goods, the suspects tried to escape by jumping over the electric fence but Kalajane was not lucky. The electric shock sent him back into the yard and members of the family pounced on him, hitting him with anything they could lay their hands on.
