NATIONAL NEWS - In a shocking turn of events, Elroy Uithaler (41), one of the accused in the murder of Micaylin Whites (22) from Parkdene in George, now also faces a rape charge - allegedly involving a minor.
Uithaler made his first appearance on the unrelated rape charge in the George Magistrate's court this morning before appearing with his co-accused, his brother, Lawrence Richards (43), for Micaylin's murder. Uithaler abandoned his bail application.
Family members of Micaylin and supporters packed the courtroom this morning and a petition with almost 2 800 signatures asking that the men be denied bail, was submitted to the court.
Micaylin's body was found on 20 July along the N2 highway near Pacaltsdorp.
