Between:
STATE
Applicant
And:
SEREMAIA BALELALA
Respondent
Counsel: Mr. N. Lajendra for State
Respondent in Person
Hearing: 4th December 2003
Ruling: 4th December 2003
RULING
The accused is now convicted on 3 counts of rape and 1 count of Wrongful Confinement. A custodial sentence according to sentencing authorities is likely. The presumption in favour of bail is rebutted in the case of a convicted offender. In this case it is in the public interest to hold the accused in remand until he is sentenced on the 23rd of December 2003.
Bail is refused.
