The murder case against a young Eastern Cape woman, who killed a man allegedly trying to rape her 1-year-old niece, has been dropped.
The court case was struck off the roll this week, pending a decision by the Director of Public Prosecution about it.
The 23-year-old woman discovered the man allegedly trying to rape her niece inside the family kraal in Qaga, a village near King Williams Town.
Scrolla.Africa reported last year how the young woman fought with the alleged rapist and hit him with an iron rod during the scuffle. He died of his injuries in the kraal.
The young woman was represented pro bono (for free) by a legal team of all-female lawyers.
