  • Lesotho's Court of Appeal on Friday ordered the rearrest of former first lady Maesaiah Thabane after revoking her bail on murder charges over the 2017 killing of her husband's estranged wife. The 42-year-old was charged in February after police quizzed her on the brutal murder of former Prime Minister Thomas Thabane's wife two days before his inauguration. She spent one night in jail, after which Lesotho's High Court freed her on a 1,000 maloti ($57) bail. "The decision... is set aside and the bail petition is remitted back to the High Court to be determined by a different judge," Court of Appeal president Kananelo Mosito ruled on Friday. Police said Maesaiah Thabane would be arrested and handed over to correctional service officials later on Friday. "As soon as we get the written judgement... we will arrest her," deputy police commissioner Paseka Mokete told AFP. Maesaiah Thabane is suspected of orchestrating the shooting of Lipolelo Thabane, who was gunned down outside her home in the capital Maseru. Police have also charged her for the attempted murder of Lipolelo Thabane's friend Thato Sibolla, who was wounded at the scene. Lipolelo and Thomas Thabane, now 81, had been embroiled in bitter divorce proceedings when the 48-year-old was killed. The former prime minister agreed to step down in January after police linked his mobile number to communication records from the crime scene. He officially resigned this month, bowing to pressure from his rivals who accused him of hampering investigations into Lipolelo's death. Thabane has denied any involvement in the murder. His wife initially went into hiding after police first called her in to testify in January. She has not yet been allowed to respond to the charges. str-sch/pma
