"These are just rumours which are speedily spreading in the village," he explained. He said they have deployed officers in the village, even those in plain clothes but they have never caught anyone. Maboka said his officers are worried and disturbed by the rumours in Mochudi. "There is no one who has been murdered to prove these (reports) and also there is no one who can come forward to prove these allegations," he said.
He said investigations in many cases of kidnapping reported to the police in Mochudi end up nowhere because the people who come to report fail to produce enough evidence. Moreover, people who claim to have been kidnapped even fail to identify the culprits. "We have encouraged them to come forward but whatever they give us is not solid or something that can be followed up," he stated.Masebola, the regional director from the told The Monitor that there is nothing concrete except rumours about serial killers in Mochudi.
