On March 13, Thato Tsametse was arrested by the Police and questioned over the murder of his 16-year-old cousin, Arnold Ofentse. This was after he made a P50,000 claim from Botswana Life where he had insured Ofentse with two Mmoloki Funeral Policies. He was taken for questioning and later released.

Seven days later, he was arrested once again and taken into custody. According to prosecutor ??? Charlie, Tsametse was reported to the Police by two different traditional healers who he allegedly approached seeking to be protected from facing the wrath of the law for killing his cousin. Charlie said Tsametse confessed to the healers that he had indeed killed Ofentse and wanted them to keep him from being prosecuted for it.

Tsametse appeared before Gaborone High Court Justice Omphemetse Motumise seeking bail on an urgent basis after Broadhurst Magistrate, where the case is being presided over, denied him bail.  His attorney Nkosana Ngwenya said his client should be given bail as he is yet to be proven guilty and that he was the sole breadwinner to six beneficiaries who are now languishing in poverty.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
