Shortly before going to print on Tuesday, the Express was informed that the man accused of the murder of Hlengiwe Msimago (30) will apply for bail, despite his initial decision to abandon bail application.

The case against Mosa Ntsibande (33), accused of the murder in Birch Acres, was initially postponed to November 24 for further investigation.
