Murder-accused abandons bail application | News Article
A group of people attending the court proceedings in Welkom in support of the family of the 15-year-old victim.

A crowd of people gathered at the Welkom Magistrate’s Court today to attend the bail hearing of Tsietsi Ishmael Rasobi.


The crowd attended the court procedures in support of the victim and were strongly opposed to the thought of allowing the accused bail.

The 30-year-old man, Tsietsi Rasobi, is accused of murdering a 15-year-old girl who was burned to death at the Thabong township. On 2 January 2019 a passer-by, allegedly collecting cans in an open field along Constantia Road, made a gruesome discovery of a half-burned body with a tyre around it. It was later discovered that it was the body of a 15-year-old girl. Rasobi abandoned his bail application today and will remain in police custody till his next court appearance on 3 March.
