MASERU – Double murder accused Lehlohonolo Scott and his mother ’Malehlohonolo will finally know their fate next week Monday when the High Court delivers the verdict in their trial.

The court on February 12 failed to hand down the judgment because Justice Teboho Moiloa had not yet finished writing the reasons for his decision.

Judge Moiloa said the evidence still required to be analysed in detail. The verdict is scheduled to be read the whole of next week.

The Scotts of Koalabata in Berea are charged with the murder of their two young male neighbours, Moholobela Seetsa and Kamohelo Mohata for suspected ritual purposes.

The alleged murders occurred in Koalabata in 2012. After their subsequent apprehension, Lehlohonolo miraculously escaped from prison and fled to South Africa where he was later rearrested and deported back to Lesotho.
