Lesotho Prime Minister Thomas Thabane and his current wife, Maesaiah Thabane, attend his inauguration in 2017. Both are suspects in the killing of the prime minister's previous wife, Lipolelo, shortly before the inauguration.A homicide that shocked Lesotho has become more shocking still: Police say Prime Minister Thomas Thabane will be charged in the killing of his estranged wife.
But rather than appear in court as he was supposed to Friday, the 80-year-old leader has gone to South Africa to seek medical treatment."He's not fled the country," Thabane's son Potlako told Reuters. The prime minister's office says he will go to court when he returns. "We shall wait until he becomes available and we shall arrange that he comes here and appears before the court of law and be formally charged," Deputy Commissioner of Police Paseka Mokete"We have a very strong case against the prime minister ... which we are going to present before the court of law which actually implicates the prime minister to the crime," Mokete told the network.
Mokete told The Associated Press that it was premature to seek an arrest warrant for the prime minister. Thabane would be the first African leader to be charged with a domestic murder while in office,His current wife, 42-year-old Maesaiah Thabane, has already been charged in the killing. She initially fled to South Africa last month before returning to Lesotho
