Ntwaagae convicted of murder

Ntwaagae will on Thursday mitigate and possibly be sentenced. The conviction means that Ntwaagae's life hangs in the balance. If the court finds that there were no extenuating circumstances, Ntwaagae might be sentenced to death. Bail for Ntwaagae has been extended until Thursday despite opposition from the state.  However, it was ordered that Ntwaagae should report to a police station three times before the matter resumes.

It was ordered that she reports at Gaborone West Police Station on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday. The state alleges that she murdered her boyfriend with an axe after an altercation in 2009. Ntwaagae is a former  waitress at O'Hagans Pub in Game City, Gaborone. On the fateful day, it is alleged that they had a misunderstanding after which she hacked Pule Letota to death with an axe.
