David Modise’s trial in the  infamous murder of Fairground Holdings CEO, Michael Montshiwa- eight years ago, will continue tomorrow at 6pm.

This was after the prosecution asked to be given more time to go through Modise’s evidence before cross examining him.

Modise is charged with the murder of Montshiwa who was shot dead on the 18th of October, 2015 at his house in Block 6, Gaborone.

Modise who was Montshiwa’s lawyer is also facing another charge of stealing by a servant.

It is alleged that the accused person Modise between the 30th of June and 17th October 2015 stole P245 000 belonging to Montshiwa, which came in his possession by virtue of being his lawyer.

Initially, Modise was charged for murder with the other two, Bampoloki Seiso and Tumelo Tshukudu.

Seiso who allegedly sold the murder weapon to Modise has since turned state witness while charges against Tshukudu were dropped last month.

The trial continues before Justice Dr Zein Kebonang tomorrow evening.
