The man accused of murdering 5-year-old Aakifah Salie has abandoned his bail application. George Mugalula appeared briefly in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
State prosecutor Juantia Swart told the court that Mugalula’s legal aid attorney Arhtur Ohlsen told her that he no longer wished to apply for bail.
Ohlsen had requested a formal bail application on November 7, but Swart had been instructed that the State was finalising a plea bargain.
According to a daily newspaper Swart said at the time that the accused would be sent for psychological assessment.
Mugalula’s wife Faiza Jordan found her daughters body at their communal home in Observatory on September 7. The case was postponed until December the 28.
