A LOCAL human rights body, the Transformation Resource Centre (TRC), has applauded the High Court for jailing two police officers who murdered Lesotho Electricity Company auditor, Thibello Nteso.
The non-governmental organisation also hailed the police for conducting “effective investigations” into Mr Nteso’s 6 February 2017 murder. The office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) was also praised for its “effective prosecution” of the case which helped secure the police officers’ conviction and sentencing to 20 years each in prison.
The TRC however said despite the sterling work of the police and prosecution, the government still had a long way to go towards capacitating the judiciary to improve the criminal justice system.
