Cleveland mass shooting accused abandon bail
The three accused linked to the Cleveland mass shooting, in which 13 people were killed last month, have abandoned their bail application.
The trio appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrates' Court on Friday.
The three Lesotho nationals, Molebili Mosia, Ramonne Tsibela and Zipho Metsing, face 13 counts of murder and 14 counts of attempted murder.
They have denied all the charges, claiming they were coerced into confessing to the murders.
Police said at the time of their arrest one of the suspects was found in possession of more than 100 rounds of ammunition.
More than a dozen people were killed when gunmen opened fire indiscriminately on residents at the Jumpers Informal Settlement.
During court proceedings, the State said investigators were still waiting for outstanding witness statements and post-mortem reports.
The case was postponed to 21 August for further investigation.
