Cape Town – A man accused of killing and dismembering a teenage girl appeared in the Blue Downs District Court on Monday afternoon.

Johannes Christiaan de Jager, 48, wearing a blue fleece top and jeans, was told his case was being transferred to the Western Cape High Court.

He applied for legal aid because he could no longer pay his lawyer.

His case was postponed until September 13, for a pre-trial conference in the high court. His trial was set down for October 7 to 31.
