This was in a case in which a Zimbabwean accused Gerald Dube is charged with the murder of former Francistown Zimbabwean private attorney Patricia Majoko on September 13, 2001 at Molapo estate in Francsitown. It is also alleged that Dube killed Majoko's two children Amotjilani and Dumisani Majoko together with their housemaid Lindiwe Ncube.
Justice Chinhengo had to make a temporary ruling after the prosecution witness Vivian Pogiso, the accused's former girlfriend, had informed the court that on September 15, after Dube had been arrested and had spent a night in police custody, she and other prosecution witnesses were called to Kutlwano Police Station. There on the first floor of the conference room, there were many police officers and Dube.
Pogiso then told the court that she asked the accused why he had killed people but he kept quiet. She then asked him why he told her that the blood on his trousers was from a cow. "He said he didn't want her to continue asking questions," said Justice Chinhengo. Pogiso said Dube later told the police that he had killed people in details.
