The man accused of murdering six-year-old Delvina Europa will have to sit in jail a little longer while his matter is being investigated.
Last month, Reagan Zietsman, 35, abandoned his bail application at the Bredasdorp Magistrates’ Court.
On Monday, Zietsman made a brief appearance, and the matter was postponed to 4 June.
Delvina was in the care of her maternal aunt, Carol October since December 2018, after her mother passed away.

The Grade 1 pupil at Elim Moravian Primary was last seen by her aunt on 24 March while playing in front of a neighbour’s home in Elim.
Delvina was reported missing on 25 March, and a day later community members found her lifeless body in the bush.
Authorities have yet to reveal how she died.
Zietsman is known to the family and lives close to their home.
