    Three men arrested following the gang rape of a 17-year-old Extension 9 girl will apply for bail on Monday next week.

    Three men arrested following the gang rape of a 17-year-old Extension 9 girl will apply for bail on Monday next week.

    The three made a brief first appearance at the Grahamstown Magistrate's Court yesterday before the case was postponed for a formal bail application.

    The men were arrested last Friday, a fortnight after the incident on 22 March.

    The 17-year-old girl who was found in a house, wrapped in a carpet with a number of stab wounds to her upper body, is still in hospital after the brutal attack.

    Extension 9 residents packed the Magistrate's Court yesterday waiting to hear the outcome of the case. They have planned a march to coincide with the bail application.

    After the three men were arrested people called for a number of community meetings in the area. Residents were horrified by what had happened.

    The girl's mother said she had been found wrapped in a carpet in a house in Extension 9 a day after the incident.

    People living in the house had heard her moaning and had gone to investigate.

    The young girl was stabbed twice in the back of her neck and is currently unable to use her right arm and leg, her mother said.

    She was taken to Settlers' Hospital and then transferred to Livingstone Hospital in Port Elizabeth.

    According to her mother, her stay there wasn't long, before she was transferred back to Settlers'.
