Lehlohonolo Joseph Scott, 26, is charged with two counts of murder and one of escaping from custody in Lesotho. He faces extradition to Lesotho.
His lawyer Shameer Goolabjith asked the court for the bail application to be postponed while it was determined if Scott was a South African citizen.
Prosecutor Blackie Swart said when Scott was arrested on April 6, he had a fraudulently obtained South African identity document.
However, Goolabjith argued his client had a South African birth certificate. Magistrate Vanitha Armu postponed the bail hearing to May 15.
According to an affidavit by Lesotho Director of Public Prosecutions Leaba Thetsane, read to the court by Swart, Scott, along with his mother Malehlohono Scott, is charged with the murders of Moholobela Seetsa, 13, and Kamohelo Mohata, 22.
According to the affidavit Seetsa was cycling on January 11, 2012. He never returned to his home in Koalabata village. Various body parts were found in a ditch a few days after he was reported missing…..
