News24 reports that four men and a teenager accused of killing two police officers in Mareetsane briefly appeared in the Itsoseng Magistrate's Court in North West on Monday.
"The state intends opposing bail for all five, including a 16-year-old minor. His bail application will be heard separately under the child justice court regulations," said a National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson. The accused face charges in connection with the murder of two North West police officers whose charred bodies were found in a burnt-out police vehicle on 27 July. The officers had disappeared two days before while on patrol. They had apparently come across a vehicle suspected of carrying stolen goats and reported the incident to their commander, but then disappeared. Their bodies were later found in a burnt state vehicle. The case has been postponed to 13 September 2021 for a bail application.
