FRANCISTOWN: A convicted former soldier that escaped detention at Sbrana Psychiatric Hospital where he was detained following conviction for the brutal murder of his two children in 2013 may face new charges for other crimes.

Thebe Ndjavera was arrested last Wednesday in Francistown where he subsequently appeared at the Magistrate’s Court for a robbery that could lead to him facing fresh charges in the related incident that occurred the same day.

He could face charges for unlawful possession of a firearm and threat-to-kill following the attempt to rob three people (using the illegal firearm), who were worshipping at a hill near the Francistown Golf Course. He is also said to have threatened to kill one of the victims with the gun.
