Court revokes bail of defilement convict

Kitso Kgamelo who has been out on bail pending the outcome of the appeal of his conviction was sent back to jail to wait for judgment on June 12 by Justice Modiri Letsididi who intimated that he found no prospects for the success of the case.

He was sentenced to 10 years for the crime but was granted bail pending appeal by Justice Mpaphi Phumaphi on February 3, 2006 after serving eight months in prison.
