As part of the response the AG also requests that Kalafatis hands himself in through Bayford to the Gaborone West police at 9am today.

 In the letter chief state counsel Thato Mujaji, on behalf of the AG, writes that police received a report of a bag snatching by a coloured man in Phase 2 on December 18 at about midnight.

The letter says the suspect drove away in a white Isuzu vehicle registration number B237 ALC and this information was circulated to all officers. It further states that police spotted the vehicle and tried to stop it but the driver ignored the order.

In the ensuing chase police shot at the wheels of the Izusu and thereafter lost the vehicle in the chase, the letter says. It says the vehicle was later found without occupants at the flats next to Naledi Motors.

Mujaji writes that a report has been made at Central Police Station that Kalafatis was shot by police while driving the Isuzu in question.

In his letter, Bayford wanted to know whether police officers who  shot Kalafatis had been brought before court on any criminal charges.

He had also requested to be availed with copies of statements of prospective witnesses.
