 According to a statement from the Botswana Police Service "a suspect who was arrested and detained for an armed robbery that took place at a filling station at Commerce Park was shot dead after he and four others broke the holding cell door and escaped from Naledi Police Station in the early hours of Tuesday".

It is understood the four suspected robbers were detained in a cell where they found two others already there. It was from this six that five, including the deceased attempted to escape. The other four are still at large. The statement adds that when confronted by police officers the deceased charged and tore one of the officer’s shirts with a sharp object and it was then that he was fatally wounded.
