FRANCISTOWN: A man facing several charges was on Wednesday found guilty on all four counts of murder in a case in which the young relatives of his former girlfriend died.

When delivering judgement, Justice Bengbame Sechele found Mooketsi Mocks Mothogo, 38, guilty of murdering Boemo Otukile, Kgakololo Ramontsho, Tshepang Ramontsho and Tshepang Dikarabo after he set fire to a hut they were sleeping in on December 13, 2015, at Dikgokong cattlepost near Selebi-Phikwe.

Some of the victims died on the same day Mothogo burnt their hut while others later succumbed to burn injuries due to multiple organ failure. Justice Sechele also found Mothogo guilty of attempting to murder his ex-girlfriend, Segametsi Philemon, then 46, when he torched their hut (that Philemon and her young relatives were sleeping in) with diesel and petrol.
