Arguments were made from both the state and defence, regarding their availability for the bail application.


Ultimately, the Magistrate decided on a postponement.


"After listening to both prosecution and the defence team, I come to the conclusion that will be in the interest of justice for this court to adjourn the case for the date of the 11th and 12th and if the bail application is not finished on that specific date, then further arrangements will be late as to further hearings of the bail application."
