Nine policemen accused of killing taxi driver Mido Macia were denied bail by the Benoni Magistrate's Court earlier today.
Magistrate Sam Makamu said he felt it was not in the interests of justice to grant them bail. The matter would resume on April 12.
In delivering his ruling, Makamu said there were potential risks that Daveyton residents could try to seek revenge on the accused. He expressed concern at the prospect of sending the men back to their homes in this "unfavourable" climate.
