A CHARGE of kidnapping has been added to the case against the couple accused of raping and murdering seven-year-old Lolitha Kowa.

- BY MANDILAKHE TSHWETE

Odwa Jack and Nokuthula Matyeseni appeared in the Khayelitsha Magistrates Court on Friday, where the new charge was confirmed.

The State also revealed that the pair’s relatives have refused to house them if they are granted bail.

The pair was arrested on 23 July, a day after Lolitha left her Kuyasa home with Matyeseni’s daughter.

She had told her mother she was going to play at the accused's nearby home. She was found dead 1.5 kilometres away from her home, and she had a screwdriver lodged in her head.
