Police deny taking responsibility for man's death

A brother of the deceased said a senior police officer promised the family that they will take responsibility since the suspect died when it was known he was in their custody. "Ba mpoleletse gore kana motho o tlhokafetse a le mo diatleng tsa bone. Jaanong go raya gore maikarabelo ke a bone," says Moemedi Setlampoloka.

However police spokesperson, Christopher Mbulawa says he is not aware of the acceptance of responsibility. "You have to understand that we are in the middle of the investigation. It is only after the investigation is complete that the Police Commissioner can advise on the way forward," says Mbulawa.
