A teenage girl has appeared briefly in the Aliwal North District Court after police arrested her in connection with the murder of her step-father.
Police spokesperson, Warrant officer Moitheri Bojabotseha, says it is alleged that on Saturday Ismain Edward Haymes returned home to Ackerman Street in Hilton, from the Hilton Rugby Fields, seemingly under the influence of liquor.
Bojabotseha said a heated argument ensued between the deceased and his stepdaughter with the deceased’s wife unable to quell the argument.
It is further alleged that the 18-year-old stabbed her stepfather with a knife on the right side of his torso and that he died on the scene.
The case has been postponed to the 7th of October for a formal bail application.
