Suspect in triple murder at Cape Town hospital ‘suicidal’, lawyer tells court

Eric Ntabazalila, the spokesperson for the prosecution, said the state would oppose his release on bail.

“He told the court he suffers from severe depression and that he is suicidal. Some investigations still need to be done, including the ID parade. Witness statements still have to be obtained.”“The instruction is not to bring a bail application at this stage,” said lawyer Shagan Shaun Balram, who is representing Malgas

He said he would await the state to finish its investigation before “consulting thoroughly with Mr Malgas”. “He has not been employed since then. He was not comfortable being at work, and there were some issues within the police that led to him leaving.”
