The state will continue proceedings against Lesumailepanoni.

His bail application matter was called yesterday.

The state objected to his bail application while the defence requested further time.

The matter has been adjourned to next Thursday for bail consideration and to decide whether the substantive matter will be remitted to the Magistrates Court or remain before the High Court.
