Five men accused of robbing a German tourist on a hiking trail nearly three weeks ago appeared in court on Monday, but the whereabouts of Nick Frischke is still unknown.
An extensive search has yielded no trace of the missing 22-year-old, but some of his personal belongings, including a credit card, backpack and cellphone, were allegedly found among items of stolen property recovered by police. A knife was also found.
Ishaan Fisher, Jason Adonis, Melvin Geunantin, Petersen van Roy and Carlo Geunantin appeared in the Wynberg magistrate’s court. The Hout Bay Community Policing Forum said on February 28 three suspects initially arrested had allegedly “ admitted to robbing Frischke”, but despite extensive questioning at the time there were no leads on the whereabouts of Frischke.
Frischke was last seen in a shop at the V&A Waterfront on February 14. The tourist had arrived in South Africa eight days earlier and had booked into an Airbnb in Pinelands.
