One of the suspects in the murder of 21-year old farmer manager, Brendin Horner, is set to argue against his bail denial in the Free State High Court this coming week.
The accused, Sekwetje Mahlamba s (33) legal representative-Advocate, Joseph Kgoelenya says the appeal has been set for this Tuesday, December 15.
Mahlamba was denied bail in the Senekal Magistrate s Court by Magistrate Deon Van Rooyen in October, following claims that he could evade his trial and that he had a prima facie case against him.
However, Advocate Kgoelenya rubbished the claims and argued that the evidence against Mahlamba and his co-accused Sekola Matlaletsa (44) was weak and circumstantial.
