Trio admits guilt in manslaughter, robbery case

Their bail was revoked last Friday following their admission of guilt, as the initial charge of murder was reduced.

The case is currently before Justice Modiri Letsididi at the Lobatse High Court. According to court proceedings, on the evening of December 1, 2016, Oboetswe Gaolefe, a shop assistant at Frokane General Dealer in Serinane, Kweneng, ended her workday at 8pm, leaving security guard, Tlholego Makuke, to man the shop throughout the night. Approximately an hour later, the trio, allegedly hatching their plan while at a bar in Molepolole, arrived in Serinane and discovered Makuke asleep near a fireplace.
