FRANCISTOWN: The defence attorney in the case in which two police officers are accused of killing Bokani Sox, 28, a nurse who used to work at Nyangabgwe Referral Hospital in the beginning of January this year have applied for his clients to be granted bail.

Motivating his application on Monday, Kabelo Gaonyadiwe from KK Sechele Attorneys said his clients, Atlholang Mojanki, 33, and Tshepho Queen Nlewa, 42, should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Gaonyadiwe told Senior Magistrate Thebeetsile Mulalu that Mojanki cannot be denied bail unless there are strong reasons to detain him.

“We are of the view that there are no reasons to keep on detaining the accused. He was granted bail for the charge of kidnapping he was previously charged with and he religiously followed his bail conditions. He did not interfere with police investigations and prosecution witnesses,” said Gaonyadiwe.

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