Johannesburg - The lawyer for the Thulsie twins is not taking Monday's loss lying down and is going all the way to the high court for her clients.
As soon as magistrate Pieter du Plessis pronounced that the arrest of the twins had in fact been executed lawfully, Annelene van den Heever immediately stood up and said they were ging to approach the high court.
Van den Heever believes her clients were arrested unlawfully and wants the high court to rule on that in spite of du Plessis's ruling.
However, du Plessis said Van den Heever could approach the high court only after the twins' bail application had been heard.
That resulted in both parties warring a little over the way forward.
In the end, the magistrate set the twins' bail application for Friday. The defence on the other hand will approach the high court within 48 hours.
The twins' mother who cried bitterly after hearing that the arrest of her sons was indeed lawful.
National Prosecuting Authority's Phindi Louw said they were happy with the ruling as they had always maintained that the twins had been lawfully detained.
