Lesotho PM no-show in court as murder charges loom

Description

Lesotho Prime Minister Thomas Thabane was meant to face murder charges for the 2017 killing of his ex-wife Lipolelo Thabane... but he skipped trial, travelling instead to South Africa. The PM's office says he's there for medical reasons - but police have warned that if he attempts to flee justice, they'll issue an arrest warrant.
