Later on the government reinforced their explanation with the Phumaphe report. They alleged that, the two Officers (Sechele and Hashatsi) were pinpointed by the report as the people who must be investigated. While this is true, we should also recall that Sechele was a Military Lawyer who was very conversant with legal matters surrounding the death of Brigadier Mahao and he even appeared before the Commission. The question is, what actually motivated him to shoot the General when he knew the facts surrounding this case of which he is one of the suspects? We may also recall that, evidence was presented before the Commission that, the operation to Arrest the late Brigadier was sanctioned and signed for by the acting Army Command Mots’omots’o at the time. This means that the operation was legal and anybody who participated in that operation did so executing legal orders. Definitely, Sechele would have known this as a lawyer. It is therefore, more than likely that he drafted the said operation order. Most importantly, nowhere in the Phumaphe report the Commission declared that operation to arrest the late Brigadier Mahao illegal.
