A young man who stands accused of murdering his mother has been further remanded in custody after failing to meet bail conditions.
Karabo Kgosimore, 23, faces a single count of murder for killing Constance Kgosimore in June 2025. It is alleged that he fatally stabbed her. Appearing before court on Thursday for a status update, Karabo revealed that he was struggling to line up two sureties as per the court order. "One of my sureties is hospitalised and unwell right now. I have a challenge with that,” he said. “I do not know how the court could assist." Therefore, Karabo pleaded for leniency before the Extension II Chief Magistrate Kamogelo Mmesi, but the court firmly and unequivocally told him that he must first satisfy the stipulated conditions before bail could be granted. "You will be remanded in custody until you meet the bail requirements," Magistrate Mmesi responded to his plea.
Meanwhile, prosecutors revealed that investigations were nearing completion and it was only a matter of time before the case was committed to the High Court. "Our investigations are almost complete. We have received the pathology report and we are just waiting for a photo album," state prosecutor Elsie Kgaodi said. The matter is set to continue on March 11 for status update.
