ACCUSED: Mose Kamonono

A man accused of killing the mother of his child sighed with relief last week as prosecutors expressed their intention to withdraw the charge due to insufficient evidence.

However when speaking to Okavango Voice on the sidelines of the court case, Investigating officer Dikai Nkape, said they are not entirely withdrawing the case.

“The application is to stop the accused from appearing before court. However the matter will continue once we have put our house in order” revealed Nkape.

Mose Kamono allegedly shot and killed the mother of his then two year old son, Pono Mangunja, on December 31st, 2021 and buried her in a field in Samedupi settlement near Maun.

The following morning he reportedly called his girlfriend’s aunt, telling her that Magunja had disappeared, leaving their toddler child in his custody.

Kamonono was brought in for questioning since he was the last person to be seen with Mangunja.

It was during interrogation that he reportedly confessed to shooting her with a rifle before burying her in a ploughing field in Samedupe.

Kamonono who is currently out on bail awaiting the committal of his case to the high court will appear again before Maun Magistrate on 6 June for status update.
