People used to be able to control anger or frustration and channel those feelings to nondestructive outlets, but of late people have been exhibiting a frightening lack of control. Murder cases involving intimate partners especially boyfriend and girlfriend and exes worry the police.
Over the years dozens of women in Botswana have been killed at the hands of their lovers something that continues to spiral of control. A total of 315 people were murdered in 2017 as opposed to 305 during the preceding year, which translates to three percent increase. Usually the victims are young women who their lives are occasionally ended in the most inhumane way. What concerns the most is that the perpetrators and victims are mostly young adults in what has become known as passion killings. Usually the murders occurs when the other party wants to walk out of a relationship whilst others are as a result of jealousy. In some instances men fight each other to death in disputes over women.
