Trio accused of killing e-hailing driver abandon bail bid

The three people charged with killing e-hailing driver Isaac Satlat have abandoned their bid for bail, with the Pretoria Magistrates Court postponing the case for further investigations.

Isaac Satlat was hijacked and strangled to death last week by a man and woman who had requested the e- hailing service.

The attack was caught on Satlat's dashcam and has been widely circulated online.

Dikeledi Mphela, Gotsione Machidi and McLaren Mushwana appeared briefly before the Pretoria Magistrates Court on Monday.

They have all abandoned the bail application and will stay in custody. 

Their matter was postponed for the 23rd of February for further bail investigation. 

Police say they are looking for a fourth suspect. 

Meanwhile, scores of people have been picketing outside court, calling for the suspects to get harsh punishment.
