Cape Town - Two men accused of killing Cape Town schoolboy Glenrico Martin appeared in the Wynberg Magistrate's Court on Monday, the NPA said.

Wilston Stoffels, 18, and Jevon Snyman, 19, would return to court on July 9 after further investigation, said National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regional spokesman Eric Ntabazalila.

He said the two had abandoned their bail applications.

Martin, 18, was shot almost two weeks ago while entering the Spes Bona High School premises in Athlone.

Captain Frederick van Wyk said at the time that three men - two of them armed - wearing in school tracksuit tops approached Martin. One of them shot him in the head.

Provincial education MEC Donald Grant said paramedics revived Martin and took him to the Groote Schuur Hospital, but he died soon after arrival.

Snyman was arrested a day after the shooting in Athlone. Stoffels was arrested in Bonteheuwel the following day. - Sapa
