During the inspection, a second crown witness Motsoasele Mosebo, showed the court his house where he was sleeping on that day of an alleged murder. Mosebo alleged that a huge sound of a gun awoke him, adding that he thought it was his neighbour shooting his dogs. He pointed out that a couple of minutes later, he went outside with an intention of going to draw water from a public water tap, and saw two armed soldiers who were dressed in uniform, near a kitchen window of Mr. Baholo.

 Mosebo stated that when he approached a public tap, the deceased who was peeping through a window of the kitchen asking for assistance from him (witness), as soldiers were attacking him." I did not respond as I was very scared of the soldiers, some of them were  below the deceased's house," he said. He indicated that outside the deceased's yard, there were two big guns that were mounted on tripod stands. He said neighbours who were looking at the house of the deceased from a distance, told him (witness), to run away.

He said he drew water and returned back to his house, and only went to the house of the deceased at 4. 30 in the afternoon of the same day, where he saw a pool of blood in the kitchen. The witness explained that he had just seen the deceased's body being taken away to a place he did not know.

25 LDF soldiers are being charged with the murder of a former Deputy Prime Minister Mr. Baholo, after he was allegedly shot and killed at his home at Ha Abia, in Maseru in 1994. The case that is before Justice Semapo Peete, has been adjourned to Monday.     The prosecutor is Mr. Roland Suhr, while defence counsels are Advocates Molefi Ntlhoki, Ts'upane Maieane, Patrick Ts'enoli and Hae Phoofolo.
