The Keetmanshoop Magistrate's Court has given the state 30 days to obtain the Prosecutor General's decision on the murder case of two police officers accused of killing a local resident, Elleste Plaatjies.

The state, represented by Prosecutor Marlong Adam, asked for a third postponement when the cases of Mulisa Bernard and Willbard Neshuku resumed.

The police officers were arrested in January of this year.

The Keetmanshoop Magistrate's Court has reserved judgment in the bail application of two police officers, Mulisa Bernard Mulisa and Willbard Neshuku, accused of murdering Elleste Plaatjie.

The duo faces charges of murder and assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

Lawyer Martino Olivier, representing Mulisa and Neshuku, argued the state could not sustain the grounds on which it was opposing the granting of bail to his clients.
