No 8 district officer commanding, senior Superintendent Nkwebi Chilisa said the first incident in which Molodi assaulted his girlfriend occurred on Saturday while the second incident in which he assaulted and stabbed a man with a knife occurred on Sunday.
Asked if there was any relation between the incidents, Chilisa said their preliminary investigations have not yet managed to link the incidents but a probe into the matters is ongoing to establish what transpired. “Both incidents occurred on different dates and at different locations. We only know that the area councillor had a misunderstanding with his girlfriend that lead to a fight and she was treated and released the same day. On Sunday we received another report that Molodi had assaulted a man and stabbed him with a sharp object.
He was arrested and arraigned before Letlhakane Magistrate's Court to face two counts of assault actual bodily harm,” Chilisa said. Chilisa stated that both victims had sustained minor injuries and were treated and released.
Molodi found his way to council through an Umbrella for Democratic Change in December snatching the ward from the Botswana Democratic Party.
