The last hearing on the matter ended on December 5, 1997. Lawyers for the victims have called Johan Visser, an amnesty applicant in another matter, to appear as a witness for the victims. He took part in meetings where a bail application for the accused was discussed.
Another witness, Edwin Clarke, who supplied Derby-Lewis with a modified firearm is expected to appear as well.
Advocate George Bizos, S.C., will oppose the application for the family.
