Murder accused Amanuel Heramo was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly murdering a woman and dumping her mutilated body outside a private residence.
The bail application was postponed to October 26, due to a language barrier.
The suspect requested for an Aramaic interpreter.
ANC and EFF supporters filled the public gallery in court.
On October 17, members of the public discovered a 25-year-old woman’s mutilated corpse in Extension 8.
The woman was found naked with a black plastic bag around her head and a blanket covering her body.
The time of her murder is estimated to be at least three days before the horrific discovery.
Heramo was arrested in Pretoria on Wednesday for the murder.

Soon after Amanuel Heramo appeared in the Middelburg’s Magistrate Court, residents started looting in Mhluzi.
Any remaining foreign national business owners were escorted out of Mhluzi by the SAPS.
The looting has now spread to Doornkop.
