More than a week after grade 10 pupil Deveney Nel was found dead in a storeroom at her school, Hoërskool Overburg, in Caledon police managed to arrest the person suspected of killing her. After an extensive investigation, police made a breakthrough in the case and arrested a 17-year-old boy on Friday evening. Police spokesperson Brig Novela Potelwa said the teenager is charged with murder and expected to appear in the Caledon magistrate's court on Monday, per SowetanLive.
“We will spare no resources in getting to the perpetrators of crime. Gender-based violence and femicide is a priority for the SA Police Service. Hence we welcome his arrest,” Patekile said. However, Heinrich Wyngaard, Executive Chairman of the civil organisation Cape Forum expressed concern for how the crime scene was handled, per The Citizen.
