According to media reports, Lesotho’s police commissioner chief, Holomo Molibeli, made the allegation in court documents challenging the prime minister’s attempts to remove him from office.

In the letter, Molibeli said: “The investigations reveal that there was a telephonic communication at the scene of the crime in question… with another cell phone. The cell phone number belongs to you.

During his inauguration speech, Thabane described his wife’s murder as a “senseless killing”. The couple had been living separately since 2012 and were engaged in a protracted divorce.
