Another twist in nightclub murder case

The police had initially charged Batshani Montsho, Nicholas Itshekeleng, Gobusamang Mothibi, Tshepo Mokalare, Keolopile Moshotle, Ditiro Reboeleng, Oabile Dibobo, Tshepo Ntusa and Tshiamo Morolong with murder and robbery. However, the prosecution yesterday told the court of another twist in the matter. It was stated that Itshekeleng, Mothibi, Mokalare and Moshotle were not involved in either of the robbery and murder offences.

“There has been new development in the case. I had a discussion with the investigating officer and it emerged that the second, third, fourth and sixth accused were not involved in the robbery case. We are dropping all the charges against them,” she said.
