Extradited US$4m armed robbery suspect denied bail

A MAN accused of participating in a daylight US$4 million bank robbery has been denied bail by the Bulawayo High Court, with a judge ruling he is a flight risk following a complex extradition process from Botswana.

Bhekani Milo appeared before Justice Evangelista Kabasa seeking bail pending trial on charges of contravening section 126 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.

His application was dismissed after the court weighed his right to liberty against the proper administration of justice.
