NMU rape case move to High Court delayed


Prosecution in the case against the man, accused of raping two Nelson Mandela University students, has taken a U-turn in the decision to have the case transferred to the Port Elizabeth High Court.

The State revealed in court on Wednesday that they would be conducting a further investigation into the matter, following a decision by the director of public prosecutions to transfer the matter last week.

The matter will thus remain in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate's Court for now.

The 29-year-old has been in custody since his arrest earlier this month on charges of robbery, housebreaking and two counts of rape.

He was arrested while trying to a sell a stolen computer in Govan Mbeki Avenue in Port Elizabeth.

The cellphones of the two students were also found in his possession.

The case been remanded to the 28th of November.
