Judgement is expected to continue in the Westerm Cape High Court on Tuesday, in the case against Bradley Noble, accused of raping and murdering 16-year-old Michaela Adriaanse in Kalk Bay last year.
On Monday, Court 4 was packed with the family and friends of 16-year-old Adriaanse. Wearing pink T-shirts adorned with photographs of the teenager, and bearing the words, “Justice for Michaela”, they had travelled from Hanover Park to witness the final days of the trial against Noble.
Acting Judge Yolanda Renqe began delivering her lengthy judgement on Monday.
Summarising the State’s case, the acting judge detailed the day the teenager went missing on March 19, 2015.
On March 22, her body was found in a bushy area in Kalk Bay. The State alleges that Noble raped her before killing her by hitting her on the head with a rock. DNA results matched the DNA samples of the accused.
