Trial – third court appearance of four suspects

Accused number two abandoned his bail application as there is an international warrant for his arrest. Further details were not made available. 

State Prosecutor Kuveshni Pillay reiterated to the court that the names and photographs of the accused cannot be published, as there is a second investigation underway by another police unit. The four accused were expected to apply for bail today. 

Accused number four has opted to use a legal aid representative instead of Nxasana. 

Magistrate Anand Maharaj adjourned the case to 24 March 2020 for the bail application.
