Four men accused of raping and murdering 16-year-old Franziska Blochliger in the Tokai forest earlier this year are scheduled to appear in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court  Today
.
In May, Magistrate Hafiza Mohamed said the State had a weak case against Jerome Moses and Daniel Easter, who had made a formal bail application. Moses was released on R2 000, and Easter on R1 000 bail.

Mohamed ruled that the State's case was not sufficient to link the two to the crime.

Howard Oliver, whose DNA was found at the scene, and Jonathan Jonas, abandoned their bail applications.

The teenager was found dead in Tokai Forest on March 7.

She had been strangled and raped.


 Her killers took her iPhone, watch, headset, and diamond ring.
