Court denies Mokomeng bail
05 Feb 2026
Kgomokasitwa triple murder accused, Moagi Mokomeng, has been denied bail by High Court Judge Justice Oteng Motlhala of Gaborone High Court.
Justice Motlhala reasoned that the suspect was not a candidate for bail, saying he had not demonstrated exceptional circumstances to qualify for bail as per the requirements of the new Bail Act, noting that it was incumbent upon him to show those circumstances.
He further noted that evidence presented in court suggested there was a likelihood that he could hurt others if released on bail, and further noted that on balance of probability, there was evidence that he committed the offences.
The 34-year-old soldier faces nine counts of offences, including murder, attempted murder, arson, and malicious damage to property. ENDS
