The three men accused of murdering controversial lawyer Pete Mihalik in Green Point last week made their second appearance in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
Accused number three Vuyile Maliti was arrested on Wednesday and was represented by Joburg-based lawyer Jannie Kruger in court.
The National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, Eric Ntabazalila said that Sizwe Biyela, Nkosinathi Khumalo and Maliti face charges of murder, attempted murder, as well as the unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Biyela and Khumalo were arrested on Tuesday last week shortly after the murder.
The case has been postponed to November 15.
Ntabazalila said that the accused would be remanded at three different prisons because they face a security risk.
