FRANCISTOWN: Police have reportedly linked one Boitshepo France aged 33 to murder as he was allegedly found in possession of belongings of the deceased, former nurse Andrew Moleele.

Moleele was murdered late last month at Matshelagabedi village at his home in Tumediso ward and his decomposed body was found in a shallow grave at his backyard. The body of the 54-year-old male nurse who had been reported missing for over two weeks was discovered 10 days ago and was buried last Tuesday at Matshelagabedi.

France was charged with one count of murder and appeared before Francistown Magistrate court on Monday. Additionally, it was reported that he fled to Kasane after committing the offence where he was arrested over the weekend.
