Husband Remanded For Threatening To Kill Wife

Delivering the ruling, Mokgatle noted that the accused allegedly carried his wife, Neo Koophutheletswe, in a car boot to the graveyards with a marshal and a spade with intention to kill and bury her but she managed to escape. He further said the accused allegedly burnt the house, which his wife and two other people were sleeping in.

“In his previous mention when asked to assure the Court that he will not kill his wife when released on bail, he simply said if he kills her, the police will arrest him. As his attorney speaks on his behalf, he muscularly stretch in the dock to the amusement of the people in the gallery and all such behaviour and attitude disqualifies him to be a bail candidate. We have to be realistic when talking about a life, which is not safe,” charged Mokgatle as he extended the accused’s remand.
