MURDER accused Thabang Moswane appeared in the Koster Regional Court on Tuesday, 13 December.
The case against the 24-year-old was postponed to 31 January for consultation with a new legal aid attorney after his previous one relocated.
According to National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesman Henry Mamothame, the state was expected to share all the necessary documents with the defence attorney in preparation for pretrial, and to await the completion of investigations.
Moswane abandoned his bail, and will remain in police custody until the next court appearance. He is charged with murder after allegedly stabbing his mother to death. Police reported that Boons police were called out to a horrific murder scene in Mathopestad on Monday, 9 May. It is alleged that there was a fight between Kedisaletse Elizabeth Moswane (53) and her son, Thabang.
Police found Kedisaletse’s body inside a shack with numerous stab wounds.
Thabang was allegedly seen drinking his mother’s blood after stabbing her, and was arrested.
