Two in court for rape, murder of Khayelitsha teen Sinoxolo

African News Agency (ANA)

Two cousins accused of raping and killing Khayelitsha teen Sinoxolo Mafevuka are expected to appear in the Western Cape High Court on Friday, for a pre-trial conference.

Mafevuka’s half-naked body was found dumped in a communal toilet a few minutes’ walk from the shack where she lived.

The two suspects, who cannot be named for their own safety, are accused of raping and killing the 19-year-old and then leaving her body in a communal toilet.

The cousins, aged 21 and 26, were arrested in March, after the half-naked body of Mafevuka was found in a communal toilet. Her clothes were stuffed in a cistern.
