High court sinks freedom bid by alleged killers of top cop Charl Kinnear: Slain top detective Charl Kinnear's alleged killers will remain in prison for the duration of their trial after a high court judge dismissed their appeal against being denied bail,…
Alleged underworld boss Nafiz Modack, police officer Ashley Tabisher and “enforcer” Jacques Cronje took the Bluedowns magistrate's court decision to deny them bail on appeal to the high court in Cape Town. Judge Mark Sher rejected the application on Monday, saying they're a danger to society and must be kept inside a correctional facility until trial.
“In my view, the circumstances which are set out in the affidavits which were filed by Modack in support of his application for bail do not constitute exceptional circumstances, either individually or collectively, and are no more than the usual, ordinary circumstances which attach to any accused,” Sher said.
“In my view, were he to be released on bail, the public’s respect for the criminal justice system would similarly be brought into disrepute. The three, charged with Lt-Col Kinnear’s murder, also face more than 3,000 criminal counts alongside 12 other suspects.
