OFM News previously reported that according to Shuping, Moeti is accused of murdering his 65-year-old mother, whom he allegedly murdered after he asked for money and she did not give him any.
Shuping added that Tsumane allegedly strangled his 71-year-old mother to death.
“Moeti is facing a charge of murder. Tsumane is facing one count of murder and one count of attempted murder. The accused allegedly attacked and stabbed his mother with a sharp object. When his uncle tried to stop him, he also stabbed the uncle.”
