Sergeant denies assaulting ex-BCP man

FRANCISTOWN: A police sergeant has denied that they assaulted former Botswana Congress Party (BCP) Youth League (BCPYL) secretary general Modise Mokwadi Fly before taking him to a judicial officer to record his confession statement.

Kutlwano police officer George Morebodi also denied in court yesterday that they had promised to release Fly after he recorded his confession statement.

"Fly was a humble man. We never promised to release him after he made his confession. Looking at the gravity of the offence there is no way we could have released him," Morebodi said. Fly is alleged to have killed his two-year-old son Tawana Mokwadi Mosinyi on November 27, 2006, at Somerset Extension in Francistown. Morebodi also told the court that he and his colleague had accompanied Fly to the District Commissioner's officer at Ntshe House but never conversed with the accused on the way.
