Facts of the Case
Background
Two applicants sought bail pending trial facing multiple counts of attempted murder, robbery, assault, theft and malicious damage to property. The State opposed bail arguing they had been on the run from 2021 to January 2023, had no fixed abode, and showed propensity to commit violent offences in the Nkulumane area.
