A man
accused of murdering and dismembering the 32 year old woman from Bellville made
the first appearance in the Bellville magistrate court on Monday.
Kyle Ruiters,
24, lived in the same block as the victim Liynett Volschenk, 32. The prosecutor
Lulama Qunta told the court that Ruiters would be kept in police custody until
his next appearance on Monday[September 2]. His lawyer, Edward Mccullum said he
had no objections to the postponement.
Some members
of the newly formed facebook group “SA Women Fight Back”held up placards outside, after handing a
petition to the court that asked for Ruiters not to be granted bail. The group
has obtained 9 100 signatures since the petition went live three days ago. One of
the members, Natalie carter said they attended to show solidarity and to call
for the justice system to be changed because it was failing the ordinary
citizens.
