The accused in the Tshegofatso Pule murder case made a brief appearance in the Roodepoort Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 17 June facing charges of premeditated murder.
The 31-year-old, who covered his face during the proceedings, heard that his offence fell under Schedule 6 of the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977, and that he could apply for bail. However, he declined to do so after consulting a Legal Aid attorney.
