The case against a 22-year-old man arrested for the murder of 14-year-old Micaylen Hendricks has been postponed.

Andre' Tieman made his first appearance before the Uitenhage Magistrate court on Wednesday.

Hendricks disappeared last week Wednesday when her mother sent her to a nearby shop in the Moeggesukkel Informal Settlement.

Police arrested Tieman on Sunday after he led the police to a shack in the area where the girl's body was discovered.

Tieman will be back in court again next Wednesday for a formal bail application.
