Murder accused persons Nkuna, Sebina and Stimela PIC: TSELE TSEBETSAME

Thabo Stimela and his two co-accused have said the state has no grounds to establish a case against them, in the charges relating to the alleged abduction, assault and murder of Lesley Manga in 2011.

Making his submissions before Justice Key Dingake at the Gaborone High Court on Monday, the trio’s lawyer, Sidney Pilane, said his clients have no case to answer.
