The fourth accused in the brutal murder of Barulaganye Aston at Kopong has raised concerns in court, alleging that investigators have been threatening her and attempting to influence what she says in the case.

Kebaleboge Ntsebe, who is a traditional doctor, made the allegations before court today when the matter came for a status update.

After killing her, the accused are said to have used the victim’s blood to write a message that reads ‘277 die’ on her bedroom wall.

When they talk with me, they ask me if I want to save other people’s lives rather than my children,” she said.
