Tses murder case postponed to October

KEETMANSHOOP, 13 AUG  – The man accused of stabbing his older brother to death at Tses in the //Kharas Region in May this year, made his third court appearance in the Keetmanshoop Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
Medusalem Baisako, 30, appeared before Magistrate Melissa Mungunda, who postponed the case to 10 October for further police investigations.
Baisako allegedly stabbed his brother, 32-year-old Josef Baisako, in the neck after an argument over a cigarette.
During his first appearance, he was denied bail as police investigations were at an early stage and it was feared that he might interfere with the State witnesses.
During his second appearance in June, Magistrate Mungunda advised Baisako to post a formal bail application.
Baisako told the court that he submitted the bail application to the investigating officer, but has not received any response to the matter as yet.
The prosecution was then instructed by the magistrate to follow up on the formal bail application for the accused. Atulala Shikalepo represented the State.
Baisako remains in custody at the police holding cells at Keetmanshoop until his next court appearance.
