BOTSWANA. KEGANNE SENTENCED TO DEATH

in Botswana, Benson Keganne was sentenced to death by Lobatse High Court Judge David Newman for the murder of a Pitsane woman, Gloria Mahowe, in 2001. Newman said he was left with no alternative but to pass the death sentence on the Botswana citizen, who committed the heinous crime with two South African citizens Amos Moloi and Kagiso Sibi. Newman said the evidence showed that Keganne was the mastermind behind the plot and carried out the actual act of shooting the helpless victim who had intended to help them by giving them a lift in her vehicle. The victim, the judge said, was killed in cold blood for greedy purposes of stealing her money. Sibi and Moloi, played a part in hiding her body.
