A disputed alibi and CCTV footage are at the centre of the bail proceedings involving four men accused of killing two police officers and two women in Reiger Park last month.

Four accused to learn fate in Reiger Park murder case

The Boksburg Magistrates' Court is set to announce a decision regarding the bail application of Reagan Collis, Jamal Meyer, Elvino Crafford, and Mcfoolen Ford, four men accused in the Reiger Park mass shooting that resulted in the deaths of four individuals. The accused are facing charges including four counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, two counts of robbery with aggravating circumstances, unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.

Ford, the fourth suspect, was apprehended two weeks ago following additional police investigations. During his bail hearing on Tuesday, Ford's defense attorney informed the court that Ford had been coerced into signing a statement implicating him in the incident. Ford's case has been delayed until Wednesday, where a bail decision will be made alongside the other three co-accused.
