P4 million sought for 'accidental discharge'

Twenty-two year old Morwe, who is seeking P4 million in compensation, says he was shot and wounded by a plainclothes officer while he was on his way to work on August 22 last year. The bullet went through his pelvic area and smashed his upper left thighbone on its way out.

As the matter unfolds, the Attorney General wants to determine the "reasonableness" of the amount of damages sought by Morwe and has offered to settle the matter amicably, but without prejudice.
