JUDGE LIKELY TO BE BIAS-LAWYER

Maseru, Sept. 17 — Legal Representative for Thabiso Lekitla who is accused of murder, Advocate Motiea Teele (KC) says a judge presiding over this case, Justice Mabatsoeneng Hlaele is likely to be biased when hearing the matter. 

This he said on Tuesday when addressing the court in an application for recusal of the same judge. 

He pointed out that the attitude of the court and the comments it made on September 02nd and 03rd 2024 when postponement was sought by Adv. Lepeli Molapo who is one of the accused’s lawyers as well as the accused respectively, led to the application for the recusal. 

He said the request for the postponement was made to enable the accused to secure fees to instruct both a senior and a junior lawyer as he had not paid fully.
