Tladi was remanded in custody to give way to police investigations and is expected back in court on March 9th for mention.

Allegedly Tladi killed the girl who was still awaiting BGCSE (form 5) results which were only released a few days after her demise.

The girl was found dead by his father who is a police officer in Maun.

She was laid to rest this past weekend in Mochudi at her mother’s place.
