Justice for Isaac: Bail bid abandoned as fourth suspect steps forward

Loading player...
The courtroom drama continues in the murder of 22-year-old Bolt driver Isaac Satlat, whose tragic hijacking was captured on his own dashcam. Three of the accused - Dikeledi Mphela, Goitseone Machidi and McClaren Mushwana - appeared in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Monday and abruptly abandoned their bail application, choosing to remain behind bars. Their case has been postponed for further investigation. In a new twist, a fourth suspect handed himself over to police and is now facing the same charges of hijacking and murder. He is expected to appear in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday. Kaya News Reporter Karinda Jagmahan unpacks the latest developments with Phemelo.
