The ongoing case in which Atlasaone ‘ATI’ Molemogi and his accomplices are accused of kidnapping may face a lengthier combined sentence after the state amended one of the charges. Appearing before Magistrate Keolebogile Matlhodi in Extension II yesterday, prosecutor, Khumoitsile Tirelo, told the court that the case has been re-registered after the state completed its investigations.
