Threats to kill continue to irk police

Speaking to Mmegi in an interview yesterday, Mautle said during December last year the Northern Divisional Headquarters registered 44 reports of threat to kill as compared to 43 reports which were recorded in 2008 during the same month. He said most of these threats were among lovers.

He appealed to people to stop uttering threats to other people noting that threatening to kill is a crime of the utmost gravity. "People have to know that making a threat to kill another person is a very serious offence and they should change how they talk to each other," he said.
