A 20-year-old man, Katlo Mokone, suspected of killing Philemon Tlhatswane, was formally charged with a single count of murder this morning before the Extension II Magistrate Court.

Mokone is suspected of killing Tlhatswane after hitting him with a brick on the head on August 3, 2024, at Lesetlhana Ward in Ramotswa. Mokone, who was formally charged with murder, was further remanded in police custody as the prosecutor, Simon Galebonwe, raised that the matter is still fresh.

“We are making an application for the accused to be further remanded in prison as the investigations are still at an infant stage,” Galebonwe said.
