In court, their legal team presented and read out their signed affidavits.
The court heard the affidavits for the other three accused were not yet ready.
The state requested the hearing be adjourned at 1pm as there was no water in the building.
The matter was adjourned to Monday when the other applications will be heard.
The state is opposed to bail for all five and they will remain in custody pending their next appearance.
