Accident or murder? :: Mmegi Online

A month long investigation by Mmegi shows that the 18-year-old labourer who was shot and killed by De Beers resident Director Neo Moroka early this year may have died from two gun shots to the chest and abdomen, not a single gun shot as previously reported. The question is, was it an accident or cold blooded murder? Mmegi Staff Writer SHARON MATHALA investigates

Kealeboga Danster an 18-year-old labourer who was killed by DeBeers Botswana Resident Director Neo Moroka in April this year after allegedly being mistaken for a dog may have been shot twice before he succumbed to his death, the deceased’s death certificate seen by Mmegi has revealed.

According to the deceased’s death certificate, which is full of grammatical errors and ambiguity, Danster died from, “ [SIC] gun short to the chest and the abdomen”, suggesting that Moroka may have shot the young man Danster twice. The new information from the death certificate offers a clear contradiction from police statements that the deceased died from a single shot.
