MAUN: Moabi Molapisi, the man who is accused of murdering his mother Kehetwe Molapisi on June 29, 2020 with an axe and then driving about a thousand kilometres to Ramotswa where he murdered his nurse ex-girlfriend Gofiwa Laone Kabelo is demanding to be granted access to research facilities that include library and internet.
