The State is insulting my intelligence- Legwale :: Mmegi Online

Concluding cross examination of his evidence in chief, Ernest Legwale, the man who stands accused of hiring hit men to kill his ex-wife, accused the State and court of insulting his intelligence and fabricating evidence. Mmegi Staffer SHARON MATHALA was in court this week

Eight years ago (September 10, 2015) at around 5am, Thato Meswele was killed in cold blood. Two years later, the deceased’s sister’s husband Legwale (48) was arrested and charged for her murder. Legwale is charged alongside one Hamadi Mkhuha (52).

This week, Legwale concluded his evidence in chief before Gaborone High Court judge, Justice Michael Leburu.
