Six times murderer pins hope on last chance

In an unpresedented homicidal rage in Botswana, a man brutally clubbed six people to death, among them his brother, his brother's wife, his bother's three children and his brother's mother-in-law. The man's murderous fury was set off when his sister-in-law and her mother would not let him cook a meal for himself.

Six times murder accused Modise Tlhokamolelo will face his last judicial hurdle in a bid to avoid the hangman's noose. The death row inmate's appeal has on several occasions been postponed but will finally be heard in next month's session of the Court of Appeal (CoA).

The convicted multiple murderer's acts go on record as the most brutal ever to happen to one family, committed by one person in one day in the criminal history of Botswana. On the fateful day, January 25, 2008, Tlhokamolelo visited his brother Landane Tlhokamolelo at Phaephae cattle post.
