Murder accused suspected to have fled back to SA

FRANCISTOWN: Murder fugitive, Edwin Tefo Samotse, is believed to have fled to South Africa but police officials in Francistown have dismissed the reports.

Two police officers that spoke to Mmegi on condition of anonymity yesterday, said Samotse might have once again fled to South Africa (SA) where he initially went into hiding after killing his girlfriend in Francistown, nearly three years ago.

Samotse escaped from Nyangabwe Referral Hospital a week ago, where he was admitted under the guard of prison officials.
