Two abandon bail in Polokwane mother, daughter murder case
Two suspects in the murders of Lizette Deacon and her mother, Hettie Deacon, abandoned bail in the Polokwane Magistrate Court on Thursday.
NPA spokesperson in Limpopo, Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi says the state has applied to have them declared them not suitable for bail.
"Both have previous convictions, Mudau is not legally in the country and has not provided a fixed address where he can stay in South Africa, and Mmako could also not provide a fixed address as well as an identity number. These are the basic requirements so they can be traced," said Malabi-Dzhangi.

Mahlo and Amid have applied for bail.
The matter has been postponed to 13 October.
