Acusan a Brown Mogotsi de presionar a una vecina con respecto a una declaración policial

El Estado ha acusado a Brown Mogotsi de intentar intimidar a su vecina para que modificara una declaración policial. La acusación surgió durante los procedimientos relacionados con su solicitud de libertad bajo fianza. El caso se pospuso hasta el 29 de junio para tomar una decisión sobre dicha solicitud.

El fiscal del Estado, el abogado Thami Mpekana, alegó que Mogotsi intentó presionar a su vecina Thandiwe Senokwane para que cambiara su declaración el 5 de junio de 2026. Esto ocurrió un día después de que se le negara la libertad bajo fianza anteriormente debido a detalles contradictorios sobre su residencia.

Mpekana también cuestionó los registros de WiFi presentados por la defensa. Señaló que los documentos no incluían a Mogotsi ni a su esposa, Dorothy Lekhoaba, como usuarios registrados.

La magistrada Annalise Thlapi cuestionó aún más los registros. Observó que solo reflejaban órdenes de domiciliación bancaria que finalizaron el año anterior. La defensa ofreció un respaldo adicional limitado para las afirmaciones sobre el domicilio de Mogotsi.
