A 25-YEAR-OLD man is set to appear in Coligny Magistrate’s Court on Monday for rape and murder. It is alleged that Petrus Moswea was arrested after the lifeless body of his mother (70) was found at Nicolaas farm, outside Coligny on 11 October 2021.
North West police spokesperson, Capt Aafje Botma said: “The accused reported the incident to the police who accompanied him to the scene. The preliminary investigation revealed that the deceased, who was staying with her husband and Moswea, was raped and fatally assaulted with a knobkerrie.
“However, the husband was not at the farm at the time of the incident. Subsequently, the police cross-questioned Moswea, who admitted to raping and killing his mother. He was then arrested,” Botma said.
She further said Moswea, who initially made his first court appearance on 13 October 2021, was remanded in custody.
Meanwhile, the North West Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena condemned the atrocity and lauded the police for the swift arrest of the suspect.
