|||Cape Town - One of the four men accused of murdering Bronx nightclub owner Bruno Bronn is trying to have a separate case of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition scrapped.
Achmat Toffa’s lawyer, Chantal Gillian, told the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Thursday she had been instructed to write to the Director Public Prosecutions (DPP) to ask that the case be scrapped.
The State alleges that while Toffa was out on R15 000 bail in connection with Bronn’s murder, he violated his bail conditions which included that he not make contact or interfere with State witnesses. Bronn was strangled in his Green Point home on February 7.
Toffa, 36, of Bo-Kaap, John Frederick Coetzer, Fareez Allie and Kurt Erispe were arrested and charged with the murder.
On Thursday State prosecutor Ebrahim Adams told the court the investigation was not complete and that one witness statement was still outstanding.
Magistrate Zwelindumile Sogwagwa granted a final postponement to January 23.
