Serowe man axes brother to death over food

Officer Commanding No.2 District, Senior Superintended Paul Oketsang said they are investigating a murder incident that occurred over the weekend in Mokwena ward.

He said the suspect, who is still on the run, attacked his entire family before hacking his brother when he attempted to assist in the family conflict. Oketsang explained that the fugitive arrived from a night out a few minutes before midnight and banged on his 50-year-old mother’s door, demanding food. According to the police chief, the mother then informed the suspect that there was no food. It was reported that the 50-year-old heard screams for help a few minutes later after she spoke to her son.
