Durban – A Lesotho national accused of chopping up two people and boiling the heart of one of them is expected to appear in the Durban Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.
Lehlohonolo Joseph Scott, 26, is charged with two counts of murder and one of escaping from custody in Lesotho. He faces extradition to Lesotho.
During his last appearance, his lawyer Shameer Goolabjith asked the court for the bail application to be postponed while it was determined if Scott was a South African citizen.
Prosecutor Blackie Swart said when Scott was arrested on 6 April he had a fraudulently obtained South African identity document.
However, Goolabjith argued his client had a South African birth certificate.
According to an affidavit by Lesotho Director of Public Prosecutions Leaba Thetsane, Scott, and his mother Malehlohono Scott, are charged with the murders of Moholobela Seetsa, 13, and Kamohelo Mohata, 22.
Body parts found in car
According to the affidavit, Seetsa was cycling on 11 January 2012. He never returned to his home in Koalabata village.
Various body parts were found in a ditch a few days after he was reported missing.
Mohata, a first-year student from the same village, disappeared early in July 2012…
