Western Cape High Court Judge Nomfundo Sipunzi has reserved judgment in the bail application appeal of the accused in the murder of controversial businessman and alleged underworld crime boss, Mark Lifman.
Counsel for the accused has argued that the court of first instance had erred in not granting the pair bail.
The George magistrates court denied bail in January.
Advocate Michael Hellens SC says the George magistrates court misdirected itself by concluding that his clients placed their reliance on the weakness of the states case in their bail application.
He further submits that the magistrate erred in finding that the two had failed to prove exceptional circumstances justifying their release on bail.
