Johannesburg – A 16-year-old alleged victim of the so-called “Sunday rapist” recounted on Monday how she was kidnapped, blindfolded, and sexually assaulted.

“A bakkie stopped next to me and a man got out and pointed a gun at me,” the girl told the High Court sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court in Alberton.

The girl, who was 14-years-old at the time, was testifying in the trial of Johannes Jacobus Steyn, who is accused of murdering schoolgirls Louise de Waal and Lazanne Farmer.

She gave evidence in camera as she is a minor. Her mother sat with her for support in a room outside the court. Her father sat in the courtroom.

The girl testified that her kidnapper, who wore a wig and large sunglasses, blindfolded her and drove her to an unknown location.

He forced her to smoke and tried to kiss her, but she pulled away.

“He told me to do what he says and stop being stubborn.”

She said she started crying. He undressed her and saw she was menstruating.
