A death row inmate has been found guilty of double murder after pleading guilty to all charges. Gobuamang Ntsuape, who has been on death row since May 12 last year for the murder of his ex-girlfriend's mother, was convicted on Thursday for two counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder.

Justice Barnabas Nyamadzabo of the Francistown High Court, in convicting the 37-year-old Ntsuape, stated that the court was convinced of his malice and intent to commit the said offences, leaving him with no legal defence whatsoever.

The ruling came after Ntsuape admitted to all the facts presented in court. "Having pleaded guilty to all counts, the court finds you guilty as charged on all six counts," stated the judge.
