In a horrifying court affidavit, the Lesotho police confirm it has proof that Lesotho, former Prime Minister, Thomas Thabane, paid a hitman to kill his estranged wife in 2017. This was planned along with his current wife, Maesaiah Thabane. Soon after killing his ex-wife in 2017, Thomas and Maesaiah Thabane showed up together in the general populace.
On the eve of Mr. Thabane’s swearing-in as Prime Minister, Lipolelo Thabane was shot to death. The police report is one of the pieces of evidence the police are trying to submit to oppose Mrs. Thabane’s bail appeal before the supreme court of Maseru. For a week now, Mrs. Thabane, who was charged with manslaughter, is in detention.
Her attorneys say her husband should be bailed out. She argued she is not guilty. Mr. Thabane, who has denied participation in the assassination – has been compelled, in the course of the criminal accusations, to resign as prime minister last month.
Lesotho Former Prime Minister Murder Case Finally Coming to a Near Close
Thomas deserves to be prosecuted, although the police say in recent reports that he had shown the hitmen his late wife’s home. The police also said the former prime minister and his wife consented to pay the killers $180,000 (£142,000), in sequels. As per the affidavit, an advancement of $24,000 had already been paid.
One of the criminals is to bear witness to the crime as a primary state testimony. Mr. and Mrs. Thabane needed his former wife, Lipolelo, to die so that his current wife resumed her position as the first lady, as per the police. Lipolelo Thabane managed to win the legal fight shortly before her demise, affirming she was the legitimate first woman – in a divorce case – and that she did deserve all the advantages that come with the leadership role.
