Principal Magistrate Thebeetsile Mulalu of Francistown has set June 9 as a mention date for the case in which Moemedi Olatetswe (21) is charged with murder.

Mr Mulalu set the date after investigating officer, Sub-Inspector Tapiwa German made an application for Olatetswe to be remanded in custody because investigations were at an early stage.
