Ahead of their latest court appearance, the three men filed an application to have the media barred from broadcasting the case.

"They are experiencing death threats while in custody due to the continued media footage being displayed of them. It’s really creating a problem for them while in custody," their attorney said.

The application was denied. The case has since been postponed to 6 November for further investigation.
