A detective has been to Mark Lundy's sister's house to assess its suitability as a bail address, while Lundy's lawyers prepare their bid to get him out of prison.
The High Court at Wellington confirmed this morning that Lundy's lawyers had filed a bail application and a hearing was scheduled for Friday afternoon.
Lundy will not be appearing.
Dave Jones, Mark Lundy's brother-in-law, was unaware that a bail hearing time had been set.
He and his wife Caryl have offered their Taupo home as a bail address, and a local detective had inspected the property earlier this week.
