The man accused of murdering a Tongaat woman and her mother wants to be released on bail.

He has been accused of gunning down his girlfriend, Nombuso Dube and her mother, Mtokozile at their home in Fairbreeze earlier this month.

Angry community members sat behind the double murder accused in the dock.
Wearing a denim jacket and glasses, Radebe told his attorney he wants his freedom.
He allegedly shot 33-year-old Nombuso and her mother following an argument.
Police say Radebe then fled the scene, but handed himself over to officers a few days later.
The magistrate has ordered that the accused be taken to a clinic to collect his chronic medication, as he will be held at Tongaat SAPS until his bail application next week.
