A 23 year old man is expected to appear in the Itsoseng Magistrates’ Court for alleged murder of a 50 year old victim. It is alleged that the suspect and the victim had an argument that led to a fight at a shebeen in Bodibe Village near Itsoseng on Sunday, 24 December 2017.
The suspects took out a knife during the fight and allegedly stabbed the victim on the neck. The victim was taken to the local clinic where he was certified dead on arrival. The police were called and arrested the suspect.
