Bishop Lavis community to march to highlight lack of progress in Xavier Mitchell murder case

CAPE TOWN - Bishop Lavis community members are highlighting on Saturday a lack of progress in a case against a man accused of killing a five-year-old boy.

It's been a year since Xavier Mitchell was stabbed to death while in the care of his nanny.

Shortly after the murder, police arrested a man, believed to be a relative of the nanny, but the case against Mervyn White has been dragging in the Bishop Lavis Magistrate's Court.

The Bishop Lavis Crime Prevention Forum's Graham Lindhorst: "A memorial march is planned in the quest of looking for answers. The purpose of the march is to highlight the lack of progress as the family feels let down by the justice system."
