Will Death Row Hit Men Escape The Hangman�s Noose?

The duo, who hail from Ntlhantlhe in the Southern District, were sentenced to death by Lobatse High Court Judge Michael Leburu despite pronouncement by Judge Tshepo Motswagole that death penalty was unconstitutional.

Leburu had interpreted Section 203 of the penal code differently after Motswagole had argued, in sentencing a murder convict, that it contravened several sections of the constitution hence rendering the death penalty unconstitutional.
