The bail application of two of the other three men accused with the rape and murder of Hillary Gardee is expected to resume on Tuesday this week.
Philemon Lukhele and Mduduzi Gama made a brief appearance last week at the Nelspruit Magistrates Court in Mpumalanga. They were remanded in custody due to the non-availability of a presiding magistrate.
They are facing charges of murder, kidnapping, rape, defeating the ends of justice and conspiracy to commit murder.
Their co-accused Sipho Mkhatshwa was denied bail almost two weeks ago.
Gardee went missing and her body was found in a timber plantation outside Mbombela few days later.
Gardee believes King Mswati was angered by the protests held by the party held back in April which saw four borders with Eswatini being shut down for more than six hours.
Gardee alleges the King of eSwatini allegedly unleashed his foreign intelligence services with a robbery decoy resulting in the death of his daughter, Hillary.
Eswatini Government Spokesperson Alpheous Nxumalo refused to comment on the allegations, “We will not dignify these allegations with a response. These claims have no truth in them.”
