Mooketsi 'Batista' Kgosibodiba of Makobo village, who killed his employer to conceal a crime in 2012, could be next in line for a date with the hangman’s noose. The Court of Appeal (CoA) confirmed his death penalty on Friday.

The Francistown High Court convicted Kgosibodiba in 2017 for the murder of Benjamin Mokobela without extenuating circumstances, which happened on February 1 or 2, 2012 in Makobo village.

It is said that the new entrant to the death-row killed his employer to cover up his crime after stealing bags of cement and a water container belonging to the deceased.
