The Itsoseng Regional Court has postponed the case against the five men accused of killing two police officers in Mareetsane, North West, to October 13 for a bail application.
Spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority in the North West Henry Mamothame said the postponement was due to the ill-health of the regional court prosecutor representing the State on this matter.
He said when the case continues, the State is expected to open its case by leading evidence through the investigating officer in opposition to bail sought by the five men. ’’However, the pair failed to return back to the station and were declared missing. A search operation was subsequently conducted,” said Mamothame.
Benjamin Jacobs , Jeremiah Mongale , Rapulana Keikantse , Matthews Modukane and a 16-year-old boy are facing charges of murder, malicious damage to property and possession of a stolen firearm.
