The National Prosecuting Authority has committed to applying its normal procedures when dealing with Phoenix killing cases despite the pressure applied by a civil group.
Accused brothers Dylan and Ned Govender and Jeetendra Jaikissoon, who had previously withdrawn their bail application, made a new bail application this week.
In the letter to Advocate Batohi, Paul stated that they were perturbed by the release of key instigators that played a pivotal role in starting the riots. Asked whether his organisation understood the seriousness of the charges faced by the accused, he said those facing “petty” crimes such as assault and public disturbance should be released.
