The public gallery was packed on Tuesday morning ahead of Du Preez’s bail application. Most people including his wife’s family sat quietly as they waited for him to be called up from the holding cells.
The 39-year-old stands accused of shooting dead his wife, Thea, 43, and their two children, Carlia, 17 and Phillip, 14, on December 3.
It is the State’s case that the murders were premeditated and it would oppose bail.
