May, who has remained in custody since his arrest, was previously denied bail in the Pinetown Magistrate's Court. He was charged with 24 counts of murder but this was changed to 24 culpable homicide charges.
At May's previous appearance in court the matter was postponed, according to National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Nathi Mncube to allow the state to consider bringing more charges and more accused.
