A Kraaifontein man, accused of rape and murder, has been denied bail in the Blue Downs Magistrate’s Court in Cape Town.
The man, who cannot be named as his victim is a minor, was arrested in June after being accused of murdering his son’s eight-year-old friend during a sleepover.
The National Prosecuting Authority Western Cape spokesperson, Eric Ntabazalila, says charges of rape, sexual assault, and assault were added after a post-mortem was conducted on the boy’s body.
Ntabazalila says the accused will be back in court next month.
