A magistrate’s court in Kasane, Botswana is set to deliver the verdict in the killing of three Nchindo brothers and their Zambian cousin by the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) tomorrow morning.
The three brothers, Tommy (48), Martin (40) and Wamunyima Nchindo (36), and their cousin Sinvula Muyeme (44), were shot by the BDF on 5 November last year along the Chobe River.
An inquest into the killing of the four started last year November in Kasane Magistrate’s Court, where Namibian witnesses were also called to testify.
The police did not find empty cartridges belonging to the BDF, or coming from a gun or guns fired by the victims either.
Testimonies throughout the inquest, however, revealed that the BDF carried out an independent search immediately after the incident and did not find any guns.
