Provincial NPA spokesperson Natasha Kara confirmed that the three men, who have been appearing in connection with the murder and attempted murder charges, abandoned their application for bail.
She said the men advised the court, via their legal representative, of the change.
The matter was postponed to next month for further investigation.
