Villagers say they had earlier witnessed a heated argument between \u2018Muso and his father.<\/p>\n<p>They say the argument started after \u2018Muso refused to look after his father\u2019s cattle. Mokoena Ramochele, \u2018Muso\u2019s brother, told thepost that there had always been bad blood between his brother and father.<\/p>\n<p>Mokoena said his brother\u2019s \u201canger\u201d could have started in childhood after their father abandoned them. He said \u2018Muso had always been bitter that they grew up in abject poverty even when their father was working in the South African mines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was working in the mines in South Africa but instead of looking after us he was giving his sister all the money,\u201d Mokoena said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis sister\u2019s husband, who was unemployed, was living like he was working.<br \/>\n\u201cWe all had to drop out of school after the death of our mother because we had no food and clothes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Mokoena said he forgave his father but \u2018Muso\u2019s bitterness persisted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2019Muso and our father would always have some fights and when I tried to intervene \u2019Muso would always remind me of how we grew up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Mokoena said his father had earlier requested him to intervene in their dispute.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
