Murder Suspect Remanded

Monday, October 28, 2013

FRANCISTOWN: A 51-year old retired engineer suspected of gunning down his girlfriend early this month was on Thursday remanded by Francistown Magistrate Dumisani Basupi.

Kennedy Moris of Kgosing ward in Maun will appear again in a fortnight for a routine mention. He was not asked to plead to the single count of murder as the lower court does not have the jurisdiction.
