Defence counsel recuses himself from murder case

Pro-deo counsel Jost Isaac made an application before Justice Modiri Letsididi that he part ways with one Mpho Kgoberego stating that they are differing in many issues to do with the case. Mpho Kgoberego and his brother Lethametse are both facing a murder charge.

"I apply to part ways with him. As of today I will not be acting as pro-deo counsel because it seems we are differing in many things. Both him and his co-accused had pleaded guilty in the morning but now he has changed his position saying he did not hold the knife," Isaac argued.
