Maun officer charged with manslaughter

Sephiri was allegedly shot by Tshepiso Sebetlela as the police looked for two people who had attempted to rob someone of a cellphone. The charge against the police officer follows an inquest this year in Maun into Sephiri's death. The coroner was Maun magistrate, Clifford Foroma, who ruled that the officer who killed Sephiri was negligent.

Maun-based state counsel, Pascal Mhandu, has confirmed that an officer has been charged with manslaughter and that they are waiting for the Francistown High Court to set a trial date.
