Assistant Superintendent Kebaitse Molefhe told the Gaborone Regional Magistrates Court that yesterday he had deliberately denied Tshosa the medical form to go to hospital because "I could see with my own eyes that he had no injuries". Under cross examination by Tshosa's attorney, Omphemetse Motumise, Molefhe said despite allegations of assault (that were being) levelled against some police officers, there was nothing about Tshosa to suggest that he had been assaulted. Motumise then put it to Molefhe that a person could have internal injuries that may not be visible to the naked eye. Molefhe agreed. Pressing on, Motumise put it to the witness that seeing as how he (Molefhe) was not an expert in matters of health, he could not have been in a position to tell whether Tshosa was injured or not.
The court also heard that upon being arrested, Tshosa was handcuffed, kicked and then detained at the Molepolole Police Station. Afterwards, Tshosa allegedly registered a complaint of assault against some police officers who had arrested him.
