New Letlhakane Police Station commander, Superintendent Unoziba Rari, said they received a report of the unlawful wounding incident at around 11 pm after the victim was found lying by the roadside, bleeding profusely.

They were arrested on Saturday and are currently in police custody for investigations,” Rari said.
