Civilian in military uniform steals car', commits crimes

When 20-year-old Bapaki Maifala of Bokaa ward in Mochudi appeared before Chief Magistrate Mareledi Dipate on Thursday for arraignment, Inspector Mengistu Chigala applied for his plea to be reserved since investigations were at their infancy.

While it was not explicitly stated in Court, sources close to the matter confirmed that when Maifala was arrested in Sowa town, he was in military fatigues except for boots. He has however not been charged for stealing the uniform, although this is expected to be added to his charge sheet at his next appearance.
