Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>A Botswana Defence Force (BDF) officer, Lieutenant Colonel Gaboutlwelwe Modirelabangwe (45), was this morning further remanded in custody following his appearance before Broadhurst Magistrates Court.<\/b><\/p>\n

Modirelabangwe faces a single count of wife murder, Dorothy Sebolai Modirelabangwe on January 13 at Glen Valley BDF camp.<\/p>\n

Representing state prosecution, Sub-inspector Kenneth Ramere told the court that the deceased was recently buried and investigations into the matter are still ongoing hence pleading with court to extend the accused person\u2019s remand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am pleading for the accused person\u2019s further remand because investigations into the matter are not yet complete as we have not completed recording statements from possible witnesses,\u201d Ramere said. For his part, accused person\u2019s attorney, Lesley Malema opposed state prosecution\u2019s application for his client\u2019s further remand stating not to be satisfied with Ramere\u2019s reasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not satisfied with state prosecutions\u2019 statement of believing that my client is likely to interfere with their investigations, how could he interfere with something that he doesn\u2019t know. It is their job to investigate and charge but that should not obstruct my client\u2019s liberty because such statements could lead to other statements and what will happen, will they still further remand my client in custody?\u201d Malema questioned.<\/p>\n

Malema also pleaded with court to grant his client bail because he does not have anything to do with investigation of the matter by the police. However, the court further remanded Modirelabangwe.<\/p>\n

He will appear before court on February 13, 2023.<\/p>\n
