Michaela Adriaanse’s alleged killer appears in court
The 16-year-old girl's body was found in Kalk Bay in March, three days after she was reported missing.
CAPE TOWN - A Steenberg man accused of the murder of Hanover Park teenager Michaela Adriaanse has made a brief appearance in the Muizenberg Magistrates Court on Thursday morning.
The 16-year-old girl's body was found in Kalk Bay in March, three days after she was reported missing.
The teenager was meant to be on a school outing with friends when she disappeared.
Thirty six-year-old Bradley Noble stood in the dock at the Muizenberg Magistrates Court for about two minutes before his case was postponed to mid-July.
Wearing a black and white hooded top, Noble stood quietly with his hands clasped staring at the magistrate.
He then for a brief moment turned around and stared at supporters in the public gallery wearing white t shirts with a picture of Adriaanse printed on the front.
Outside the court several posters with a photo of Adriaanse were tied to the fence.
Some read: "Rest in Peace Michaela" and "No Bail for Bradley Noble".
