Magistrate Vanitha Armu granted the three men who were allegedy part of plot to kill businessman, Grant Jones, two weeks back bail of R5 000 each.
The charges against the main accused, Jones’ business partner, relating to the attempted hits, including the one that took place in July this year, have been provisionally withdrawn.
He will only face charges of being in possession of an unlicensed firearm, while the other two face charges of conspiracy to commit murder only for the earliest incident.
Part of the conditions of the bail is that they should not interfere with any of the state witnesses.
The men handed over all their travelling documents. “If they want to leave the province or the country, they will have to report to the investigating officer,” said the National Prosecuting Authority’s regional communications manager, Natasha Ramkisson.
The case was adjourned to 26 January for further investigation.
All three men have to report to the Brighton Beach police station twice a week.
