Trigger-Happy Boyfriend Remains In Custody

The State alleges that the 38-year-old accused, Mbakiso Bhusumane attempted to shoot to death with a gun his girlfriend Lorato Mothanka, 30, Gosaitse Sebokolodi, 29, and one-year-old Boikanyo Might Sebokolodi on May 8, 2019 in Block 9, Francistown.

 After his legal rights were read to him, Bhusumane told the court that he would seek legal representation. Public prosecutor, sub-inspector Cecilia Nchochi pleaded with the court not to grant Bhusumane bail as investigations in relation to his case are still at an initial stage.  The victims for count two and three are critically injured and hospitalised at Nyangabgwe Referral Hospital. The injured parties’ relatives are still deeply hurting over the incident and fear that they might seek revenge on the accused if he is granted bail.
