Maun police are investigating a case in which an 18-year-old female was allegedly found dead in her room by her father who is a police officer in Maun on Valentine’s Day.
Although there are allegations that the girl was murdered by a boyfriend who is a son to another police officer in the criminal investigation unit (CID), station commander for Maun Police, Dennis Zilawe says the case is still fresh and they cannot really conclude that the girl was killed.
Explaining the case, Zilawe said what was reported to them is that the officer had left the girl when he went to pick up her sibling in school and upon his return he called out her name to announce their arrival back home.
” When she did not respond the father went to knock on her bedroom door and when she did not respond, he opened and found her lying on her bed. He tried shaking her but when she did not respond he called the police,” said Zilawe.
The girl was confirmed dead upon arrival at the hospital and investigations are ongoing to find out whether or not there was foul play.
“We have no reason to suspect or rule out foul play. Investigations are ongoing and only the post-mortem results will reveal the possible cause of death,” Zilawe explained.
Meanwhile a young man said to be the son of a CID officer was allegedly questioned yesterday but no formal charges have been laid against him.
