Potchefstroom soldier back in court for alleged murder | News Article

Potchefstroom - A 24-year old soldier at 4 Artillery Regiment in Potchefstroom is expected to appear in the city's Magistrate's court again today in connection with the murder of his former girlfriend's brother.

Colbens Ramatsetse was denied bail at a previous appearance.
 
He is accused of murdering nine-year old Mdumiseni Mthini, his former girlfriend Thato's brother after their relationship ended.
 
Mdumiseni’s body was found with multiple stab wounds in the bushes near Top City outside Potchefstroom in August.
 
Magistrate Peter Jikkels previously said bail was denied due to the danger the local community poses to Ramatsetse's safety.
 
Community members threatened to picket outside the court if he was granted bail.
