Court grants Kopong murder accused bail

Magistrate Segomotso Phetogo who is holding the fort for her colleague Jobbie Moilatshimo who is out on sick off read out a ruling that the second and third accused deserve to be granted bail as there has been a change in circumstances in the case.

“On November 27 2022 the accused persons were denied bail because a six- year-old witness' statement was not recorded but now the statement has been recorded and recording of the statement marks a great change,” Phetogo stated. The Magistrate further added that the two accused do not pose any threat of being flight risk and also reiterated that having a passport is not reason enough that one can be a flight risk once given bail.
