The Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court is expected to continue today with the bail application of the man accused of orchestrating the killing of Warrick Stock, popularly known as DJ Warras.
The State is set to respond to submissions made by the defence, following the court’s dismissal of an application for the release of CCTV footage to the accused.
The accused, Victor Majola, has been linked to the crime through CCTV footage which allegedly places him at the scene. According to the State, the footage shows Majola walking with the deceased and pointing him out to two other suspects, who moments later shot Stock multiple times before fleeing.
Defence attorney Dumisani Mabunda has argued that denying his client access to the footage would amount to a miscarriage of justice, insisting that Majola should be afforded an opportunity to view the evidence against him.
The State, however, maintains that releasing the footage at this stage could compromise the chain of evidence.
The three-day bail application has been marked by sharp legal exchanges between the prosecution and the defence, particularly over the handling and disclosure of the CCTV footage.
