This follows two incidents that occurred over the weekend in Palapye and Lesenepole villages respectively in which three men were attacked and stabbed with sharp objects while walking. Police are yet to establish the suspects’ motives for attacking and stabbing people.
“We have arrested three men aged 29, 30, and 34, all residents of Extension 1, Palapye after they allegedly pounced on two brothers in an attack and ended up stabbing them with sharp objects. Even though we do not know the motive behind stabbing victims we suspect that their motive might have been to rob the victims but investigations into the matter are ongoing to establish that,” he said.
Oketsang said the suspects allegedly pounced on them (the two brothers) in an attack while walking from a funeral on Saturday early morning at around 4:40am in Lesenepole village.
“The victims aged 30 and 40 had sustained multiple injuries all over their bodies and they were rushed to Lesenepole Clinic but were later referred to Palapye Hospital where they are currently hospitalised. However, in both incidents the victims were not robbed of anything,” Oketsang said.
