DJ Warras Murdєr Case: Bail Application Delayed as Accused Receives Medical Attention

DJ Warras Murdєr Case: Bail Application Postponed as Family Calls for Unity

Johannesburg – The murdєr case of Warrick Robert Stock, the popular DJ known as DJ Warras, has been postponed to next week, leaving his family and supporters anxiously awaiting further developments.

The accused, 44-year-old Victor Mthethwa Majola, made a brief appearance at the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, where the matter was adjourned to 13 January for a formal bail application.

Majola faces a charge of premeditated murdєr in connection with Stock’s death, which occurred in December.

Stock was shot and killєd outside the Zambesi House building in Johannesburg’s CBD while working as a security contractor at the premises.

During the court proceedings, the magistrate inquired about Majola’s well-being while in custody, specifically asking whether he had received medical treatment at the Johannesburg prison.

Majola confirmed that he had been attended to, telling the court that he saw a doctor on Monday. Majola had previously claimed to be injured and requested medical attention during his earlier appearance.

Initially, three individuals were suspected of having been involved in the fatal shooting, including a man with dreadlocks. Investigations into the matter are ongoing, as authorities continue to piece together the events that led to Stock’s tragic death.

In the lead-up to Tuesday’s court appearance, the Stock family issued a heartfelt appeal to South Africans, urging them to show unity and solidarity as the case progresses.

They called on supporters to change their social media profile pictures to solid white squares from Tuesday morning, as a visual symbol of their collective grief and demand for justice.

Furthermore, the family encouraged members of the public to light candles at 18:00 on Tuesday, wherever they may be, as a gesture of remembrance for Stock and a call for fairness in the judicial process.

This poignant act of remembrance aimed to highlight the devastating impact of the crime and to underscore the importance of ensuring that justice is served.

The postponement of the bail application means that Majola will remain in custody until at least next week, when the court will hear arguments for and against his release.

The outcome of the bail hearing will be a crucial step in the legal proceedings, as it will determine whether Majola will be held in custody pending trial or allowed to return to his community under certain conditions.

The case has drawn considerable attention, with many following the developments closely and expressing their support for the Stock family.

The family’s call for unity and remembrance has resonated with many, highlighting the deep sense of loss and the desire for justice to be served in a fair and transparent manner.

As the case continues to unfold, the focus remains on ensuring that those responsible for Stock’s death are brought to justice and that his family finds some measure of peace amidst their grief.
