A suspected serial rapist, who is also accused of the murder of a 74-year-old Grace Keakantse of Area W, Francistown back in November 2018, has requested to be transferred from Francistown state prison, because his life is in danger.
Thirty-three-year-old Modisakgotla Keganeditse who is currently serving a 12-year prison sentence, told Francistown Chief Magistrate, he is being assaulted and threatened by wardens back in prison.
The serial rapist who has made an application for bail, pending his trial for murdering, raping and robbing a 74-year-old granny of Area W, before Francistown High Court, told Chief Magistrate Game Mooketsi that he lives in fear, adding that prison is not safe.
“My Worship yesterday I told you I was ready to proceed with making submissions for my bail application. But today I cannot proceed. I did not sleep well last night and I am not well. Yesterday I came to court hungry, I did not have breakfast. When I got back at prison and asked about my share I was harassed by wardens. They said I was bothering and irritating them. I have become nuisance, who must be taught a lesson and poisoned,” alleged Keganeditse.
“I slept on an empty stomach, beaten and made to sleep on a floor covered in water and without a blanket,” continued Keganeditse, as he took off his sweater displaying his back riddled with bruises and marks of beatings.
Notorious Keganeditse said he is terrified for his life and wanted to be transferred from Francistown prison immediately and also to be taken to hospital. He alleged that one of the wardens accused him of killing his aunt.
“I am not feeling well at all. Please may I be taken to hospital for a doctor to examine me. I do not mind any prison, even Mahalapye maximum prison is fine. I do not mind so long as I am safe. The aunt I am said to have killed I do not even know her,” lamented the 33-year-old convict.
Keganeditse who hails from Kgaphamadi is serving a 12 -year prison sentence for raping a 33-year-old woman, on Christmas Eve, two weeks after being released on bail for the murder of the 74-year-old grandmother of Area W.
