Spousal Murder-Accused Ex-Cop Changes Plea

FRANCISTOWN: The goalposts keep on shifting in a case in which an ex-cop is alleged to have murdered his spouse, a teacher in Letlhakane village.

The accused, Mogomotsi Legae, 40, allegedly murdered Olorato Legae on or about July 13 and 14, 2016 in Letlhakane. When Mogomotsi’s trial began in earnest on Wednesday, he pleaded not guilty to the offence but later changed his plea following the testimony of Dr Paul Sidandi, a psychiatrist at Jubilee Hospital.

Sidandi testified that after he examined Mogomotsi after the charge of murder was levelled against him, he came to the conclusion that although Mogomotsi was suffering from mild depression at the time he allegedly committed the offence, he is fit to stand trial. Sidandi reasoned that people who are suffering from mild depression are fit to stand trial as opposed to those who are suffering from severe depression.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
