The three men accused of killing five-year-old Ditebogo Phalane are expected to bring a bail application in the Pretoria North Magistrates Court on Thursday.
Phalane was killed on the evening of May 10, 2024, as he ran out to greet his father, in what police say was a botched hijacking.
The incident took place in Soshanguve.
At the time, Gauteng police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Mavela Masondo, said that according to information, an unconfirmed number of armed suspects allegedly hijacked the fathers Toyota bakkie and shot the boy, who later died in hospital.
Police made a breakthrough a few days after the murder and arrested suspects.
