Diepsloot murder suspect in court

Monday, October 21, 2013

Pretoria - The prime suspect in the murders of the two Diepsloot toddlers is expected to appear in the Pretoria- Magistrate Court today.

The man, who was arrested in Alexandra last week, allegedly killed two-year-old Yonelisa and her cousin Zandile Mali.

The two girls were buried on Saturday after their mutilated bodies were found dumped in a communal toilet -- an incident that drew national condemnation, including from President Jacob Zuma.

Four men have already appeared in court in connection with the murders. They have been charged with two counts of murder, two counts of rape and one count of abduction.

Their case was postponed to Thursday for them to apply for Legal Aid. – SAnews.gov.za
