Thirteen people accused of the murders of two residents of the Kennedy Road Informal Settlement will spend at least two more weeks behind bars as they wait for the outcome of their bail application.
Although it seemed that Magistrate B Mbulawa would give judgment on the bail application on Wednesday, she eventually adjourned the case to November 18 without reaching a decision.
Mbulawa said that after reflecting on all the evidence before her, she felt she needed to know which charges each of the 13 accused faced before reaching her decision. She said it would be unfair to deal with the case as if all 13 were facing the same charges.

Investigating officer Krishna Naidoo said that for this to be clarified, an identity parade would have to be held for witnesses to point out which accused were allegedly involved in which offence.
The case was then adjourned, giving Naidoo two weeks to conduct the identity parade.
