The fourth accused in the Isis-linked murder case of Cape Town-based British botanists Rodney and Rachel Saunders will make a formal application for bail.

Mussa has proven to be a vital piece of the puzzle in solving the case of the slain couple.

He evaded police for more than a month after the initial arrests of his co-accused, Sayfudeen Aslam del Vecchio, his wife Bibi Fatima Patel and their teenage neighbour Themba Xulu, who turned state witness after pleading guilty to possessing the Saunders' stolen cellphones and receiving a wholly suspended sentence early in the case.

Investigating officer Anuresh AJ Lutchman previously submitted that Mussa’s passport had been found at Del Vecchio and Patel’s home in the foothills of Endlovini, near Eshowe. "A preliminary analysis of digital devices found in Del Vecchio's possession indicates Bazooka’s involvement in the commission of the crime‚" read his statement.

Del Vecchio and Patel were denied bail last year. During the trio's last court appearance they insisted on accompanying Mussa to court for his bail application.
