'Crazy' suspect gets bail

A 50 year old Palapye man who was shot by the police last week in Serorome ward for allegedly firing a pellet gun at the cops has denied the accusation and claims they are building their own defense.

Self employed Sakie Seanego reportedly had a dramatic fire exchange with the police on the 06 July when they had gone to arrest him for threatening to kill his lover. The police claim Seanego acted like he was crazy hurling stones and shooting a pellet gun at them, but allowed him bail before he even had a chance to ask for it.

Seanego said to have threatened his girlfriend saying: “I’ll kill you and throw you in Bonwakathako dam.” He is further accused of damaging the police Landcruiser and resisting arrest.

Inspector Ditsapelo Emmanuel offered Seanego bail on condition that he does not make physical contact with the complainant nor interfere with witnesses. He further told Magistrate Gofaone Mosweu that they were still waiting for Seanego’s psychiatric report from Lobatse, which took the magistrate aback.

She asked the Inspector why they took the accused for mental evaluation and he said because he had been shot on the head and was acting like he was insane. “They suspected he might be mentally disorganized,” stated Emmanuel. “You say he was acting insane and firing a pellet gun at the police; I can imagine a nasty scenario unfolding. What am I missing?” the magistrate asked.

His head still wrapped in bandages, Seanego denied being nuts. “I’m normal. We just had a misunderstanding with my woman because she cheated on me but we are okay. We even met this morning and we did not fight. I will not utter any threats,” he stated and further accused police of denying him a chance to take medication.

Though she said she had no problem with Seanego getting bail, Mosweu made a ruling for the complainant to state whether she would feel safe if he was set free. The case continues.
