Police To Charge Lesotho PM With Murder Of Wife

Lesotho Prime Minister Thomas Thabane will be charged with the murder of his estranged wife, who was gunned down ahead of his inauguration in 2017, police said Thursday, as the beleaguered premier announced he would quit by the end of July.

Her death shook the tiny mountainous kingdom of Lesotho, which is entirely surrounded by South Africa. “She was charged under common purpose even though she did not pull the trigger, but people she was acting in consent with pulled the trigger,” said Mokete by phone. “I effectively retire as prime minister with effect from the end of July this year, or at an earlier date if all the requisite preparations for my retirement are completed before then,” he said in an address on national radio.

“I hope that the remaining months that I will spend in office will afford parliament and my party enough time to work on transitional arrangements.”
