STAR FM DJ Munyaradzi Mlimo's bail hearing was for the second time this week deferred to allow the defence lawyer to put his papers in order. DJ Munya's lawyer Mr Lucky Mawuwa sought the postponement after Mr Editor Mavuto of the Attorney-General's Office filed his response to the application.
The application will now be heard today at the High Court at the same time with the other application by his two alleged accomplices, Taurai Janhi and Mohammed Matare.
In the response, Mr Mavuto argued that the circumstances surrounding DJ Munya's murder case required that he at least file an affidavit or give evidence in court justifying why he should be granted bail.
Mr Mavuto submitted that DJ Munya's application was not in compliance with the law, prompting Mr Mawuwa to seek the postponement.
On Tuesday the case was deferred to allow the prosecution to file its bail response.
Mr Editor Mavuto sought the postponement in DJ Munya's case arguing that he received the bail application late and that he needed time to study it before he filed his response.
The trio allegedly connived to commit the offence through forcing the man to gulp poison.
In the bail applications DJ Munya and his alleged accomplices argue that the request for remand form (Form 242) does not disclose the nexus between them and the alleged crime.
The prosecution alleges that the DJ hired hitmen, who kidnapped and murdered Tinashe Magorimbo after he failed to pay him US$5 000 as compensation for having an affair with his wife.
