The pair initially met at the bar in the evening, and later that night, the 32-year-old suspect allegedly invited the victim to his place where they continued drinking. Superintendent Unoziba Rari, the commander of Tlokweng police station, stated that they received the report on Saturday morning around 8am after the pair had spent the night together.
