Ten years waiting for murder trial

Appearing before a panel of five judges at Gaborone High Court yesterday, state prosecutor, Farayi Mahwite admitted negligence on their part for allowing Kobedi to freely walk the streets for a decade without being tried.

Mahwite conceded that they had failed to act within a reasonable time to prosecute the accused, but insisted there was no question of him being treated unfairly. He told the court that there was no timeframe for murder.
