BOTSWANA: 44-YEAR-OLD MAN HANGED FOR MURDERING HIS EMPLOYER
December 4, 2019: Botswana on 2nd December 2019 hanged a 44-year-old man for murdering his boss, prisons services announced, despite mounting criticism from rights groups and the European Union.
Mooketsi Kgosibodiba was hanged at Gaborone Central Prison "in the early morning hours", the prison said, in the first execution since President Mokgweetsi Masisi was elected to office in October.
In 2017, Kgosibodiba received a death sentence for the 2012 murder of his employer and his appeal was dismissed last year. (Sources: AFP, 02/12/2019)
