Zane Kilian, charged with the murder of detective Charl Kinnear, was visibly crestfallen to hear he will spend Christmas behind bars.
He had expected to finally apply for bail but yet another possible exposure to Covid-19 within the team led to the matter being postponed to February.
He said his son is having meltdowns because he has been away for so long and he
kept shaking his head in disbelief when the matter was postponed.
Debt collector Zane Kilian will be spending Christmas behind bars as his bail application was postponed again due to an investigator in the case being unable to testify due to being in isolation due to possibly being in contact with someone positive for Covid-19.
