Setlampoloka murder case - perfect script for blockbuster

The Court Case

It has been a long nine years since an alleged habitual criminal, Setlampoloka was murdered by six police officers as per the charge sheet. However, what the police started out as an obligation to hold those accountable responsible for the murder to allow the family to find closure, turned into nothing short of a suspenseful drama. Heartbreak for some. Joy for others. As the curtain fell on Tuesday, marking the end of a long journey for the deceased family, and the police officers who have been on trial since they were committed to the High Court in 2013, Gaborone High Court’s outgoing presiding judge, Leatile Dambe could not hide her disappointment as she flipped the pages to read the judgement.
