Following the gruesome murder of three family members in Molepolole, within two weeks, four suspects, including the deceased couple’s son, were arrested.

The quartet, Tebogo Ramantosha 27, Mmoloki Tlhaelo37, Poloko Segwagwa 27 and Cornelious Saidoo 28 were recently arraigned before Molepolole Magistrate Court facing three counts of murder. The police also managed to retrieve the deceased’s television with investigations still ongoing to establish what really transpired that fateful day.
