Phakamani Hadebe, Zitha Radebe, Phinda Ndlovu, Sanele Mbhele, Siphiwe Mazibuko and Siphakanyiswa Dladla were arrested for killing Deokaran outside her home in the south of Johannesburg in August.
State prosecutor Steve Rubin previously told the court that Ndlovu initially told the investigating officer that he was Zimbabwean. He has, however, made a U-turn on this claim. His legal representative, Peter Wilkins, told the court that he was born in KwaZulu-Natal. The court heard that Ndlovu previously skipped bail and the state said his explanations on his inability to adhere to bail conditions inspired no confidence. The state told the court that bail should be denied to all of the accused, citing that they failed to show the presence of exceptional circumstances.
