FRANCISTOWN: Justice Barnabas Nyamadzabo on Wednesday found a Botswana Defence Force (BDF) private, Thebe Ndjavera, guilty of killing his two young children.

However, the judge said the accused shall be confined at the pleasure of President Ian Khama because he was mentally unsound when he committed the offences.

Said Nyamadzabo: “The accused shall not be called to give his defence because he was insane at the time he committed the offences.

I shall in due course make a report to the President that he be confined at the pleasure of the President at a safe place of custody for a period to be determined by the President”.
