In the road outside the court, a group of picketers chanted "no bail" and echoed concerns about the murder scene, saying that the justice system seemed to be soft on child killers and rapists.

On Sunday, Stacey's body was found in a shallow grave next to a wendy house where her mother and her mother's boyfriend live.

Some neighbours in the crescent in Eastridge, Mitchells Plain were so enraged that they petrol bombed the main house on the property.

Stacey was buried in accordance with Muslim rites on Tuesday.
