Rape allegations against police officers false

In a media release the Botswana Police Service (BPS)’s Public Relations Officer, Assistant Commissioner; Dipheko Motube said the development follows the arrest of a 37-year-old Zimbabwean man in relation to the claims. 

“This follows audio messages that have been circulating purporting that some police officers at Gaborone West Police Station raped a Zimbabwean illegal immigrant woman and later killed her husband on Sunday. We would like to categorically and unequivocally state that the allegations are misleading and malicious,” Motube said.
