UPDATE:
The bail hearing has been postponed to next Tuesday, September 26.
More than 80 people once again gathered outside the KwaDukuza magistrates court this morning with placards at the ready as they demanded justice for the alleged murder of 24-year-old Glenhills resident, Dillon Puckree.
Two men aged 22 and 24 and a boy of 17 were arrested on Tuesday, September 12.

Last Thursday a demonstration was held by the community outside the court where the KwaDukuza Community Police Forum submitted an objection to bail, and two of the accused were subsequently opposed bail.
They are being held at Umhlali SAPS and KwaDukuza SAPS respectively and are expected to appear in court this morning for a formal bail hearing.
The third accused, a minor, was opposed bail on Tuesday and remains in KwaDukuza SAPS custody.
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.
