LOBATSE: Two Lobatse men accused of raping and murdering a middle aged Botoka ward woman, yesterday exchanged harsh words before Lobatse senior magistrate, William Modise.

David Sibanda (24) and Otlhomame Setshwano (26) face two counts of rape and murder. It is alleged that on the night of September 3, 2017, the duo attacked a woman at her house in Botoka ward. They are alleged to have tied her hands behind her back and interchangeably raped her before murdering her and hiding her corpse under a heap of clothes.

The woman was reported missing by her colleagues at work. When pleading for bail Setshwano urged the court and investigation team to speed up their processes since he was innocent. “I am innocent and jail is not conducive. I don’t know anything about this offence. I want the police at least to bring forward evidence that links me to the offence,” he said.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
