A NC man was denied bail by the Upington Magistrates court following the murder of a 9 year old boy
A 26-year-old man from North Carolina, Willem Klopper, has been charged with the murder of a nine-year-old boy and has been denied bail by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in Upington. The matter has been postponed to December for further investigations. According to NPA Regional Spokesperson Mojalefa Senokoatsane, Klopper was in a relationship with a relative of the child and had an argument with the relative.
The relative left the house to avoid confrontation and left the boy sleeping. Klopper returned to the house, found the boy sleeping, and allegedly stabbed him to death. Although Klopper did not go through with his bail applications, the state was prepared to oppose the bail application due to the severity of the offense.
