Former first lady’s bail revoked

Lesotho's Court of Appeal has revoked the bail granted in February to Maesaiah Thabane, the wife of former Prime Minister Thomas Thabane. The New York Times reports that Maseru deputy police commissioner Paseka Mokete said Thabane was currently out of the country with her ‘sick husband’, but would be arrested when she returned. Mokete said police did not need to wait for a court decision to re-arrest Thabane. She has been charged with ordering the murder of Thabane’s previous wife, Lipolelo Thabane, in 2017. At the time Lipolelo was going through a bitter divorce with Thabane. They have both denied any involvement in her killing.
