Facts of the Case
Background
The 31-year-old applicant, a gold panner, faces one count of murder and two counts of robbery. He was previously denied bail on 26 March 2021. The State opposes bail citing the seriousness of offences, strong case against him including recovered stolen property, and flight risk given his nomadic lifestyle and resistance to arrest.
