Yudistan Pillay

TWO men accused of killing a young Boksburg couple and concealing their bodies in a shallow grave appeared in the local court on Tuesday as the victims’ grieving families called for them to remain behind bars.

The bodies of Yudistan Pillay, 25, and his girlfriend, Jessica Rabe, 20, who lived in Van Dyk Park, Boksburg, were discovered wrapped in plastic and buried in a shallow grave on Saturday, after they were reported missing more than a month ago.

Haroon Rashid Adam, 27, and Wessel Hendrick Swart, 27, both of Van Dyk Park, appeared in the Boksburg Magistrate’s Court.

They were arrested and charged with murder (premeditated), kidnapping, assault, and defeating the ends of justice.
