Unlawful wounding turns to murder

Konongwe who is also a prison warder based in Serowe appeared before Village senior Magistrate Tshepo Thedi on Thursday following a scuffle with the deceased and another at the Airport junction Mall in Gaborone. For his arraignment the 37-year-old was granted bail but was re-arrested recently and his charges have now been changed to murder.

His new charge sheet now reads, “The accused person Konongwe, on or about 23rd April, at Airport junction Mall in Gaborone, murdered Onkabetsse Kgamanyane by stabbing him with a knife causing him to sustain injuries which lead to his death.”
