During the last appearance, the accused requested bail, which was denied.
The suspect accused of murdering Boitumelo Lebotse made a brief appearance in the Orlando Magistrate’s Court on January 19.
This court appearance followed the suspect’s previous hearing, where he was denied bail due to the absence of his legal representative.
Lebotse was brutally stabbed to death, allegedly by the suspect, who is believed to be her ex-boyfriend and reportedly struggled to accept the end of their relationship.
