Death row �hit men� plead for justice

In an emotionally charged court appearance yesterday the duo, Daniel Semi (30) and Gaolatlhe Thusang (35) through their respective lawyers called on the bench to consider the circumstances leading to the killing of one Motlhanka Motukwa in what was described as a motive for financial stimulus.

The duo, who hail from Ntlhantlhe in the Southern District, were condemned to death in 2010 by Lobatse High Court Judge Michael Leburu despite pronouncement by Judge Tshepo Motswagole that the death penalty was unconstitutional.
