Property division ingredient for murder

This came in the wake of a Botswana Defence Force (BDF) officer of the rank of Major shooting and killing his wife before committing suicide in Molepolole last week.

The cause of the couple’s conflict that ended up in both deaths is not yet known. The tiny village of Mmathethe where Major Nkitseng Basutli hails from is reeling in shock after he shot and killed his wife in broad daylight and in the process injured his nephew, who is currently in hospital fighting for his life.
