Bail over a kebab stab

By the Editorial Team · Thursday, September 10, 2026

Three men, including siblings Danny and Michael Sukkar, have been granted bail after a stabbing outside CK’s Canterbury Kebabs and Burgers in Canterbury. Despite police concerns over potential retaliation, a judge allowed bail with conditions, and the defendants will return to court in late September as the investigation proceeds.

Three men have been released on bail following a stabbing incident outside a kebab shop in Canterbury. The incident occurred after midnight on Monday near CK’s Canterbury Kebabs and Burgers, located at the intersection of Canterbury Road and Fore Street.

Among those charged are siblings Danny and Michael Sukkar, who were allegedly involved in a physical altercation with 23-year-old Hamid Sesay. The confrontation escalated into violence, resulting in stab wounds. Police responded to reports at Canterbury Hospital later Monday morning, where the three men sought medical treatment at different times.

CCTV footage presented in court captured the violent exchange, prompting police to oppose bail due to concerns about possible retaliatory violence. However, a judge determined that the risk of reprisal could be managed through strict bail conditions imposed on the defendants.

The three accused are scheduled to appear in court again in late September as the investigation continues. Authorities have not released further details regarding the motive behind the altercation.
