Police have summoned Thomas Thabane, 80, the prime minister of
Lesotho for questioning over alleged links to the 2017 murder of his
estranged wife, Lipolelo Thabane who was shot dead just weeks before he
remarried.
Lipolelo, 58, was gunned down outside her home in the country's
capital Maseru in June 2017, two days before the inauguration of her
husband, who later remarried two months after the murder.
The couple had been embroiled in bitter divorce proceedings after
Lipolelo reportedly refused to divorce her husband and won a court
battle to retain her privileges as the country’s first lady until their
formal separation.
Now, Lesotho's police chief has invited the Prime Minister for
questioning over claims that call records showed that someone at the
murder scene had called Thabane’s mobile phone on the day of the crime.
Police want to know why a call was made to his mobile phone from the scene after the killing.
Police commissioner Holomo Molibeli wrote to Mr. Thabane demanding to
know the caller's identity and the 'subject matter' of the call from
the murder scene.
He wrote: 'The investigations reveal that there was a telephonic
communication at the scene of the crime in question ... with another
cell phone. The cell phone number belongs to you.'
'This case does not only attract the attention of Basotho nation
(Lesotho) but it is of international concern,' deputy police
commissioner Paseka Mokete said in a statement.
This comes days after Thabane said he planned to resign after senior
members of the All Basotho Convention (ABC) party accused him of
hampering investigations into the killing.
'As the prime minister I have undertaken an oath to respect and
protect the constitution and all other laws of Lesotho,' he told
reporters in Maseru, promising to 'get to the bottom of this matter'.
