DJ Warras' murder suspect stays in jail as bail gets delayed. Victor Mthethwa Majola faces Schedule 6 charges, meaning possible life imprisonment for premeditated murder. His bail hearing was postponed to verify his home address. The state strongly opposes releasing him due to the serious allegations.
Majola had a quick court appearance where his lawyer claimed police assault. Questions about needed medical treatment in custody went unanswered. The accused allegedly killed media personality Warrick Stock, known as DJ Warras.
The shooting occurred outside the Zambesi House building in Johannesburg. Security footage apparently shows multiple people approaching the victim beforehand. Majola was arrested days later at a hostel in Soweto.
A woman arrested with him saw her charges dropped already. Investigators cite insufficient evidence against her for now. Police confirm their work continues and more arrests could happen.
The case returns to court for the bail decision next month. Majola remains detained at a Johannesburg correctional facility until then. The whole situation adds another grim chapter to the city's crime stories.
