Cape Town – Yet another teenager has been found murdered and police suspect she was raped.

Ge-Audrey Green, 19, was found dead in a Kraaifontein house on Saturday.

And as in the case of Bredasdorp’s 17-year-old Anene Booysen, someone close to Green and known to her family has been arrested as a suspect.

Police spokesman Andrè Traut said Green’s badly decomposed body was found in the drawer of a bed in a flat of a neighbour on Kotze Street, Scottsville.

“Initial investigations indicated (she) was strangled. However, a post-mortem will determine the cause of death,” Traut said.

“The circumstances of the case are being investigated. The suspect’s mother occupies the flat and was not at home when the crime was committed.”

Traut said a 21-year-old man had been arrested and would appear in the Blue Downs Magistrate’s Court.

Relatives and friends called at Green’s home on Sunday to offer condolences.

A prayer service, which MEC for Community Safety Dan Plato attended, was held at the home.

Ge-Audrey had last been seen on Wednesday, an aunt, Ronette Green, said.

Green said that when her niece slept out, she would come home the next morning.

When she failed to come home on Thursday, the family asked around, but friends had not seen her.

“The mother is emotional. She wants to know what happened to her daughter,” Green said.

A man will appear in the Bredasdorp Magistrate’s Court on Monday in connection with the rape, mutilation and killing of Anene Booysen.

The 17-year-old was found at a construction site on the morning of February 2 and died in hospital that night.

She was buried on Saturday after a funeral which was attended by hundreds of mourners in the south western town of Bredasdorp, in the Western Cape.

Three men had since been arrested in connection with Booysen’s rape and murder.

The two others are due to appear in court on Tuesday.

It is alleged that Booysen identified one of her killers shortly before she died.

Following the crime, there was an outcry from all sectors of society with women organisations calling for decisive action against rapists.

On Sunday, the SABC reported that Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille and her parliamentary leader, Lindiwe Mazibuko, will participate in a “stop rape” protest outside Parliament on Monday. – Sapa
