Neo Lekoba, a murder accused in Lesotho's High Court, denies involvement in the fatal 2021 assault of Monyane Litšoane at a stokvel gathering in Mokhotlong, claiming he was attempting to protect co-accused Fusi Chitja. The State's case relies on seven witnesses who testified they saw the three accused attacking the deceased with fighting sticks and stones, while the defence testimony contradicts this account.
