An anti-GBV organisation wants the teenage suspect accused of murdering Caledon pupil, Deveney Nel, to be tried as an adult due to the intensity of the crime he allegedly committed.
Picture: SuppliedThe 17-year-old boy
appeared briefly in the Caledon Magistrates Court Monday and the case was
postponed to next month for further investigation.
Shortly after
16-year-old Deveney was reported missing two weeks ago, her body was found
stabbed in a storeroom on the premises of Overberg High School.
"He masterminded
not to be caught for over two weeks and allegedly was part of the search as
well, so that’s not a mind of child, that’s a mind of an adult and also his 17-years-old,
he should be in a Juvenile detention facility until he turns 18 and should be
tried as adult,’’ said Lucinda Evans, Chairperson of One Billion Rising SA
“We believe that his in
a place of safety, why does he need to be in a place of safety, when he
mercilessly killed Deveney,” added Evans
