Bail appeal dismissed. The High Court held the magistrate was not wrong to treat the appellant as a flight risk and to prefer the investigating officer’s evidence.

The applicant failed to show on a balance of probabilities that his admission to bail would not frustrate the due administration of justice or public interest, given the seriousness of the offence, risk of abscondment, and the need to maintain public confidence in the administration of justice. The interests of justice require that the applicant prosecutes the appeal while in custody.
