Joseph Nfila, who is accused of raping two sisters and forcing them to bath in order to destroy forensic evidence, was granted bail due to “weak arguments” by the prosecution, senior Magistrate Goodwill Makofi said yesterday.

The state had argued that Nfila had other rape and robbery cases under investigation for which he was out on bail and also that victims were still angry, with a possibility of them taking the matter into their own hands. The state also said Nfila had previously breached his bail conditions in other cases.

The 37-year-old, who was out on bail at the time of the offence, is suspected to have raped and robbed two sisters at their home in Gaborone West Phase 2 this year. The victims, a 36-year old woman and her 27-year old sister, were asleep when Nfila allegedly broke in armed with a knife.
