My Asyut Habbaniyah.

In less troubled times, the first lady in yellow has been charged with the murder of the prime minister's first wife.

The case is testing the division of powers between the judiciary on the government.

Suppose his phone guilty and she's convicted off.

Meda, I think, follow suit but would be a first step that would teach everyone.

That would be a lesson for every citizen, especially people in influential positions off power, that they are not immune to justice.

I have the burning desire villas to see where we have the first lady like any other muscle toe.

I'm expecting that she must as well go.

They're being charged and, if need arise, go to jail.

Dipole Alotta Bonnie was gunned down outside her home in June 2017 on Armed Gang was initially blamed.

The killing occurred just two days before Thomas to Bonnie was sworn in for his second spell is P.

M.

He not only been fighting an election campaign, but also a bitter divorce against Dipper lay low at its heart, a power struggle for who was the rightful first lady, a battle for influence in the country last month.

Lawsuit is police commissioner linked Thomas to Bonnie's mobile phone toe a call at the time of the murder.

The prime minister was himself then questioned by police, but he hasn't been charged.

The story has sparked intrigue and anger in the normally peaceful country.

Protesters want to Bonnie to quitters prime minister immediately.

So far, he's only said he'll step down at some point because of old age.

He's 80.

But even if he leaves office, questions about what really happened to his first wife and the quest for justice all remain.

For more on the developments off this case, I'm joined by journalists.

Doug wanna get Tiny, who is reporting from Lesotho's capital, Macero.

Hello and good to see you, obviously hot off the press, I see you in the car making your way from that court.

But tell us a little bit about what happened in court today.

As I understand it, the formality off actually laying the charge happened.

That's correct.

We know now that my Zeta Tau Bonnie, the prime minister's wife, has been charged with the murder off his second wife to put a lot of on in 2017 as well as the attempted murder off chapter Sibila.

This is de pelo esta Bonnie de Pelota.

Bonnie's friend, who was with here in the car, was shot but survived, of course, the bull or died in that shooting.

She fled to South African last month to escape arrest.

Why has she now turned herself in?

From what we understand when she fled in the suit to to South Africa, it was to the knowledge off the security agencies in South Africa and subsequently through negotiation.

The South African envoy off President Sarah Rama Posa with the state security minister, deputy state security menace that went to the suit.

But nothing transpired for from that.

But following that, we don't understand that the South African security agencies gave her an ultimatum.

Either leave South Africa or be arrested in South Africa is you can understand the two countries have a an extradition treaty between them that allows them to exchange people who are wanted in either country, and as a result, that would have had to happen for hair to go to the suit.

However, because she was a fugitive from justice was already wanted when she fled Liz Soto, South African authorities put in tricked arrest her and take her to Soto are supposed to avoid that.

Her lawyer then advised her to go and report yourself to the police, which he did yesterday.

And where does the prime minister stand in all of this?

And is he going to step down as many in the country are calling for while Christine, What we know is that the Prime Minister was first written to buy the Commissioner of police.

Hola, Mama.

Did lady who informed him that his cell phone is the one that was actually called by people at the scene where a lot of money was shot and killed in 2017.

So from what we understood, you would have been the first person huh?

To be suspected of this crime.

However, because Mars, my desire to Bonnie has publicly declared that her and her husband share cell phones.

And we suppose that because off other investigations that have now pointed more to hear them to him now it appears that she is the first accused in this case.

However, what we can say is that the Prime Minister has been up sent in by it even in for today.

He wasn't present so very cause.

Because by his absence, in terms of stepping down, we suppose that this case probably is the main reason why he feels that he needs to step aside.

But he still hasn't done that.

We know that.

He says he will retire when Parliament has started.

Process is for him to do so.

And we're waiting for that to happen to see when he actually does stepped out.

Christine.

All right, that's in.

Doug.

Wanna got tiny in?

This is Capital Macero for us.

Thank you.
