Schoolboy shooting case postponed

Two men accused of killing Cape Town schoolboy Glenrico Martin appeared in the Wynberg Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.

   

Wilston Stoffels, 18, and Jevon Snyman, 19, will remain in custody until their next appearance on September 2.

   

The two previously abandoned their bail applications.

   

Martin, 18, was shot in May while entering the Spes Bona High School premises in Athlone.

   

Captain Frederick van Wyk said at the time that three men -- two of them armed -- wearing school tracksuit tops approached Martin. One of them shot him in the head.

   

Paramedics revived him and took him to the Groote Schuur Hospital. He died soon after arrival.

   

Snyman was arrested in Athlone a day after the shooting. Stoffels was arrested in Bonteheuwel the following day.
