Cape Town - Three men appeared in the Western Cape High
Court on Friday in connection with the kidnapping, rape and murder of a 6-year-old
girl.
Judge Robert Henney ruled that their trial would start on
20 May and that they would remain in custody until then.
Asemahle Ntsabo was playing with friends in Mbekweni,
Paarl, on 21 January last year when she went missing.
Her remains were found two months later between bushes
near a railway track in the area.
The three were linked to the scene by forensic evidence.
According to the summary of facts document, Ntsabo was
killed by strangulation.
The State alleges that the three acted in conspiracy to
kidnap, kill, and remove the girl's body parts.
