Serowe Police station commander superintendent Molefhe Molefhe said there are two groups of unruly young men that are causing havoc in the Bamangwato capital. He said the other group has adopted the West African Jihadist militant organisation moniker, Boko Haram.

This murder, which happened at Metsimasweu ward, is the second in Serowe since the beginning of the year. It is alleged that a group of rival gang members were seen chasing the deceased from a bar in Metsimasweu towards the Metsimasweu Bridge. Later the deceased was found wounded and lying helplessly near the said bridge.

Some good Samaritans who also reported the matter to the Serowe Police took him to the hospital where he was admitted with multiple stab wounds and bruises. He died this morning and the police await a postmortem booking in Gaborone.

Molefhe said the deceased has been on the run for several assault cases. He was also reported to have stabbed two rival gang members a week ago. He said they suspect the incident could be a revenge mission.

“Our informer identified some of the men that were chasing the deceased as the same that he had previously stabbed.”
