Pangkaeker, alleged murderer and rapist of 8-year-old Tazne van Wyk, will also face three counts of common assault, three of sexual assault and two counts of kidnapping and desecrating a corpse when he appears in the Western Cape High Court on January 29.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said Pangkaeker remained in custody at Pollsmoor Prison. Before disposing of Tazne’s body after allegedly raping her, Pangkaeker is accused of having desecrated her corpse by cutting or sawing off her left hand. The case was postponed to October 8. While Martin’s bail conditions forbid him making contact with witnesses, he is not to enter the Strandfontein, Bayview area and was ordered to hand over his passport, said Ntabazalila.
