Police in Botswana has said they will not leave any stone unturned as investigations into the death of Abo Kgwarae, a key state witness in a murder case who was assaulted and left for dead last week, continue.
Kgwarae (42) who was expected to testify in the murder case of former Fairground CEO, Michael Montshiwa, was allegedly beaten to a pulp by unknown culprits and left in the bush near Kgale junction along the Lobatse road.
His vehicle, according to the police, had veered off the road and knocked a tree and was impounded with a damaged bumper and right fender.
A female companion is said to have reported the matter and took the police to the scene where she disappeared while the police were still busy attending to the incident.
Kgwarae who had sustained head injuries was then taken to Block 9 clinic and was later referred to Bokamoso Private Hospital.
A bloodstained stone is said to have been recovered at the scene while another was found on the passenger seat.
Superintendent King Tshebo of Old Naledi Police confirmed that Kgwarae was certified dead on Friday by doctors at Bokamoso. "We however are still investigating the matter and we are yet to establish how the accident occurred," he said.
