LOBATSE: Acting Justice Jennifer Dube has denied a Zimbabwean man bail in a case in which he, together with two others, are charged with robbery and murder of a 17-year-old Nigerian and University of Botswana student in 2014 in Gaborone.

The trio, Tawanda Makufara (33) of White City, Augustine Tembo (31) of Kuwadzana, Harare, Zimbabwe and Trevour Vandirayi (36) of Masvingo village in Zimabwe, are alleged to have on August 5, 2014 stabbed Elisha Eyitato with a sharp object before charging at his father at Village (Gaborone) in a violent robbery that took place at the deceased’s house. Vandarayi was granted P40,000 bail two weeks ago.

Arguing his bail application, Makufara told the court that he had stayed long in prison. Makufara further said he had nothing to do with the incident.
