The Cape High Court has dismissed an appeal by Lotto millionaire Jason Canterbury against the decision by the Blue Downs Magistrates to refuse him bail.
This comes about as Canterbury was arrested in connection with the murder of an associate.
The state alleges Canterbury, of Kuils River, had hired four hitmen to kill Henry Stevens on September 28 after suspecting Stevens of stealing money and drugs from him.
Canterbury applied for bail in the Blue downs Magistrate’s Court early this month.
The appeal in the Cape High Court was turned down late last week.
