AHEAD of a new trial date, the State has revealed the alleged plot of the “Suitcase Killers” to murder Previn Pillay.

Nearly five years after the horrific discovery of Pillay’s decapitated and mutilated corpse in a burning suitcase at Hazendal Train Station in Athlone in December 2020, his alleged killers Riefaat Loofer, Glenville Jansen and Franklin van Niekerk are set to go on 29 April at the Western Cape High Court.

Pillay, 29, was last seen on 23 December 2020 leaving his home in Pinelands in his white Toyota bakkie, before cops were called to Hazendal station to investigate.

At the time, staff at the station saw a man dragging a large travel suitcase to the subway.
