“The PM has still not shown up.”
The 80-year-old prime minister is accused of having acted “in common purpose” in the June 2017 killing of Lilopelo Thabane, 58, with whom he was embroiled in a bitter divorce
“The PM has still not shown up,” said Deputy Police Commissioner Palesa Mokete told a news conference after the premier failed to appear at a magistrate court in Maseru. “He is not attending court, he has gone for a medical checkup in South Africa,” Thakalekoala said by phone. “We have a very strong case against the PM and his phone is not the only evidence that we have,” Mokete told reporters.The death shook Lesotho, a landlocked mountain of 2.2 million people that has a long history of political turmoil.
Thabane had already fled the country once, when his first coalition government was marred by political bickering, which culminated in an army-led coup in August 2014.
