Key witness in double murder takes the stand

What began as a late night request for a P300 loan would unfold into a key thread in a murder trial as State witness, Mark Mpofu’s testimony shifted the court’s focus to a black Huawei cellphone belonging to accused Tshepiso Letsididi.

Letsididi is accused of brutally killing then 54-year-old Hubona Mhaladi and her 10-year-old grandchild Laofa Mmamorepo at their home in Molepolole. Trial continued this morning before Judge Oteng Motlhala of the Gaborone High Court.
