The incident also left two other men, aged 19 and 30, nursing serious injuries, with one reportedly fighting for his life at Princess Marina Hospital. Lekgwapheng Police Station commander, Superintendent Mothosera Busang, said they received a report at around 3am alerting them that several people had sustained serious injuries and were being rushed to hospital. He said officers immediately rushed to Scottish Livingstone Hospital, where they found three young men with multiple stab wounds all over their bodies, suggesting that they could have been in a violent fight involving sharp objects. "The trio, comprising the deceased and two other men aged 19 and 30, had sustained serious stab wounds," Busang said."One of them was rushed to Princess Marina Hospital, where he remains hospitalised in critical condition, whilst the third man is admitted at Scottish Livingstone Hospital with serious injuries." He said investigations were ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident, including where and how the men sustained their injuries. "We do not know whether they were attacked or whether it was a fight amongst themselves or with other people because we could not establish anything since they were in a critical condition.All of them are residents of Molepolole," he added. Busang expressed concern over the continued prevalence of knife-related offences, noting that police continue to record cases in which people lose their lives after being stabbed with offensive weapons, particularly knives.He appealed to young men to desist from carrying knives to entertainment spots, warning that such weapons often embolden individuals to resort to violence rather than resolving disagreements peacefully. He observed that carrying knives gives some young men a false sense of bravery, encouraging them to engage in fights that could otherwise be avoided or settled amicably.
