The family members of the accused, businessman Stanley Bakili, Bayswater detective Molebatsi Mogoera, and court orderly Kagiso Chabane are anxiously waiting to hear if they will be granted bail.

OFM News previously reported the three men accused of playing varying roles in the murder of Bloemfontein businessman, Louis Siemens, will find out today whether their applications for bail will be granted.

Magistrate Marlene Marais is expected to deliver her judgment on the matter in the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court, following months of delayed bail proceedings. The accused are each facing charges that include murder and extortion. 

Prosecutor Johan de Nysschen has indicated that the state opposes bail for all the accused.
