Lawyers representing the 42 men accused of the attack at the Modise church last month have wrapped their arguments in the bail application at the Westonaria magistrate’s court.

A total of 42 men are applying for bail following the arrests on the weekend on the attack.

Mphatswe said the state was relying on the principle of common purpose to link accused number 1 to 18 to the crime because they were not on the scene of the crime. Mphatswe said the state’s argument that there was a 9mm firearm found in the Quantum with serial number removed and three firearms found inside the BMW, two not registered in the country and the other belonging to a Mr Subramoney was not good enough.
