PRISON BOUND: Choto and Gabantheetse leaving court
Two armed robbers who subjected a Maun woman to a night of hell on Independence Day back in 2018, have been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment each.
43-year-old local Moagi Gabantheetse and Zimbabwean national Lloyd Choto, 37, were convicted of a single count of robbery as well as theft of a motor vehicle.
Following their conviction back in December, the two men received their punishments before Maun Magistrates Court this week.
It could have been worse for the duo as they received 10 years for robbery and a further five years for the car theft.
However, instead of sentencing the thieves to 15 years behind bars, Magistrate Thebeetsile Mulalo tempered justice with mercy, ruling the sentences would run concurrently.
