Found that he could possibly interfere with state witnesses, and that the prosecution had a relatively strong case against him, the bail bid of murder accused police officer Sergeant Rudy Arends was dismissed on Monday.
Needing certain evidence to be clarified before continuing with a formal bail application, the lawyer for murder accused Sergeant Rudy Arends asked for the case to be postponed.
During the arrest of a Kariega police officer this week, charged with the murder of his friend, a 9mm pistol, an air gun, 19 live rounds of ammunition, and a plastic bag filled with spent cartridges were seized.
Almost a year after a Kariega resident was ambushed and killed in his Strelitzia Park home, a police officer has been arrested in connection with the murder.
