Anele Bhengu murder-accused to remain behind bars
The man accused of the murder of KwaMakhutha woman Anele Bhengu wants to apply for bail.
Bhengu's mutilated body was found in the area, south of Durban, two weeks ago.
The 21-year-old had been stabbed in what has been described as a hate crime.
It is alleged that she had also been raped as well as her body mutilated.
