MURDER ACCUSED TO SOURCE NEW LEGAL AID ATTORNEY
The Koster Regional Court postponed the case against the murder accused, Thabang Moswane (24), to 13 December 2022, for a new legal aid attorney to be appointed and consulted. His previous attorney has relocated and has withdrawn his services. In the next court sitting, the state is expected to share all the necessary documents with the defence team, in preparation for trial, and to await the completion of investigations.
Moswane has abandoned his bail, and he will remain in police custody until the next court appearance. He is charged with murder after he allegedly stabbed his mother to death. Police reports reveal that Boons police were called out, to a horrific murder scene in Mathopestad, on Monday afternoon, 9 May 2022. Initial information indicated that there was a fight between Kedisaletse Elizbeth Moswane (53), and her son, Thabang Moswane.
On arrival at the scene, police found Kedisaletse’s body inside a shack, with numerous stab wounds. The police were informed that Thabang, was allegedly seen drinking his mother’s blood, after stabbing her. He was immediately arrested and appeared before the Koster Magistrate’s Court.
