The case was supposed to proceed yesterday at the Broadhurst Magistrate Court. Previously the court heard how Motlalepula Monareng had hired hit men to kill her 32 year-old daughter, Dolly Monareng.

The court learnt that she had offered the hit men P100,000 for the job and was about to pay a P40,000 deposit when the police pounced on her and foiled the plot. One of the alleged assassins, Benny Modisane, was to kill Dolly and her boyfriend. The mother met Modisane and another hit man who was to procure a gun and but when she was about to produce the deposit the police pounced.

One of the hitmen told the court previously that during the meeting, they became aware that the police were trailing them. He told the court that as Monareng was just about to pay them the deposit, the police officers pounced on them.

Another witness, a police inspector at the Serious Crime Squad, Zachariah Babusi told the court that Monareng had offered them a lumpsome to kill her daughter together with her boyfriend and their child and make it look like an accident.
