Reiger Park murder: Two denied bail, two walk out on R5,000 bail

Four men accused of murdering two police officers and two civilians in Reiger Park in August have had their bail decisions varied by the Boksburg Magistrate's Court. Reagan Cheslin Collis, 23, and Jamal Meyer, 24, were both denied bail, while Elvino Levert Crafford, 27, and Mcfoolen Ford, 26, were granted bail of 5,000 rand each.

The accused, who face charges including four counts of murder, two counts of robbery with aggravating circumstances, and firearms offenses, claim that police coerced them into confessing to the killings. The magistrate ruled that Collis and Meyer failed to provide sufficient reasons for bail, and the case has been adjourned until December 1.
