The man accused of murdering and dismembering the Bellville woman made a first court appearance


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.
