PRETORIA - The man who confessed to killing Kgaogelo Marota has abandoned his bail bid, at least for now.
The 26-year-old Lazarus Antonio now faces an additional charge, of contravening a protection order that his now-deceased ex-girlfriend, Marato, had taken out against him in February.
Antonio is accused of fatally stabbing Marato, and attacking his current girlfriend, who survived.

In the aftermath of his violent crime outside a Hammanskraal tavern, Antonio confessed on social media.
Marato’s family believes it has a watertight case against him.
Antonio returns to court on the 17th of October, after the court postponed the case.
