PALAPYE: Murder suspect, Kitso Seeiso yesterday accused the Magistrate Court here of favouritism after a series of his bail applications were turned down.

He said that he tried on several occasions to apply for bail but failed. He added that he was shocked to learn that some of his co-accused were granted bail.

“In all occasions I applied for bail, I followed all the necessary steps one needed to go through in order to get bail, but I was denied it. I believe that this is not fair. Moreover, I still maintain that I know nothing of the said offence,” he said.
