CAPE TOWN - Two teenagers linked to the murder of a retired schoolteacher in Bredasdorp, Western Cape, are expected back in court on Wednesday.
The pair, aged 16 and 18, were arrested shortly after the murder on 12 July when they were spotted driving around in the teacher’s car.
It's understood that 82-year-old Sammy Cloete was stabbed to death and robbed at his home on Jacaranda Street.
Last Monday, the investigation officer testified that 18-year-old Shaun Swart was not involved in the murder of the retired teacher.
The court heard that Swart is not connected with the case after the 16-year-old came to pick him up with the deceased’s vehicle for a joyride.
Swart was granted bail and ordered to stay at an alternative address in Struisbaai.
The minor remains in custody in a facility fitting children in conflict with the law.
