Friday, March 31, 2017

Konstatinos Kalafatis has filed a lawsuit against the Botswana Police Service (BPS) demanding P14 million compensation in connection with a shooting incident in 2013 in Gaborone.

The 34-year-old, who is the brother to John Kalafatis who was executed by the Botswana Defence Force members in May 2009, says his attackers were plain clothes Botswana police officers. The matter is before Lobatse High Court Justice Jennifer Dube and the first and second respondents are the Attorney General and the Commissioner of BPS respectively.

In his court papers, Kalafatis says he was shot at by plain clothes police officers on the night of December 18, 2013 without any warning of an arrest.
