Murder Accused Gets 10 Years For Friend's Murder

Tshireletso escaped capital punishment after the presiding judge, Barnabas Nyamadzabo found that there were extenuating circumstances in his case. Nyamadzabo noted that Tshireletso grew up in a single parent family and only went as far as Form Three in his education. 

He said the environment in which Tshireletso grew up coupled with his little education might have been amongst factors that led to him committing the offence.   The judge also said that alcohol played a role during Tshireletso’s commission of the offence.
