More than a hundred people have gathered outside the KwaDukuza magistrates court this morning with placards at the ready as they demand justice after the alleged murder of 24-year-old Glenhills resident, Dillon Puckree.
Three men aged 17, 22 and 24 were arrested on Tuesday and will appear in court this morning.
The KwaDukuza Community Police Forum submitted an objection to bail and two of the accused were subsequently denied bail.
Puckree died in hospital after receiving serious injuries in a fight with a group of men in Stanger Manor just after midnight last Friday September 8.
