‘Love Doesn't Kill’ – Tlokweng Police

For years, ‘crimes of passion’ have been tearing Tlokweng apart with dozens of women losing their lives at the hands of a lover or ex. Tlokweng police are investigating two murder cases that occurred on Saturday.

This comes barely a week after other similar incidents were recorded in the same precinct. Tlokweng Police station commander, Superintendent Unoziba Rari raised concern over escalating ‘crimes of passion’ in his policing area. Rari stated that murders arising out of love affairs and suspicion of infidelity are on the rise in Tlokweng despite efforts to curb the scourge. “We are investigating yet another murder incident in which a 25-year-old woman of Selebi-Phikwe was stabbed to death with a knife by her Tobane native boyfriend at Masetlheng ward in Tlokweng on Saturday noon,” he said. Rari said investigations on the matter are ongoing to establish what transpired between the lovers.
