Murder accused seeks reprieve in name confusion

Before Justice Gaolapelwe Ketlogetswe of the High Court, Reneetswe Rabosotho submitted that his client is Willias Munyaradzi Maphorisa and not Willie Munyaradzi Maphorisa as the prosecutor stated or William Munyaradzi Maphorisa as the fourth state witness said.  Rabosotho said that Willias is not the one who strangled Vivian Monedi Moyo to death at his Block 5 residence in Francistown in 2007 as the prosecution would like the court to believe.

He said that Willias has been charged as a result of mistaken name identity as documents before court shows. He said he will apply for the case to be withdrawn because the wrong person has been charged for a crime he never committed as demonstrated by the confusion regarding his name.
