Alleged Davids killers deny guilt

This is despite an initial intention by one of the accused to plead guilty to the murder that shocked the nation back in January 2018.

Mokgalemi Maleya, who is second accused in the matter had informed Court previously that he intended to tender a guilty plea. “Yesterday, I indicated to the Court with regard to the nature of the plea the second accused shall be tendering,” Maleya’s attorney,  Opeyemi Ajayi told Leburu. “The second accused wants to plead guilty. I received statements of facts from the prosecution, which I’m still going through. I have not been able to put the same to the second accused. We need time to do the needful and decide on the plea we want to tender.”  However, when appearing briefly in Court on Wednesday, Maleya somersaulted on his initial intention and tendered a not guilty plea.
