The Lehurutshe Magistrates’ Court postponed the case against Judah Mosadi(44) to 13 April 2022, for further investigations.
He is charged with the murder of Gaitewe Kabasia(34). Police reports reveal that on 24 February 2022, Mosadi travelled from Rustenburg where he works and went to Lehurutshe where the deceased stays with her two children.
It alleged that an argument ensued between the two and Mosadi suggested they take a drive to avoid arguing in front of the kids.
Henry Mamothame NPA Spokesperson said they then drove around Lehurutshe and an argument ensued again in the car.
“Witnesses to this crime allege that the deceased was screaming for help when the car passed, where they were standing.
“They further allege, when the car drove back the female occupant was not inside,” Mamothame.
In his statement, Mosadi alleges that the deceased tried to jump off a moving vehicle and he grabbed her by her dress but she eventually jumped off.
He also conceded to hitting the deceased, but alleges that she was also hitting at him while they were driving.
The state is awaiting the post-mortem results, to establish the real cause of death. It was established that Mosadi has a previous conviction relating to a driving offence.
The accused will remain in police custody until the next court appearance.
