Anine Booysen, 17, was found disembowelled at a construction site in the southwestern town of Bredasdorp at the weekend and later died in hospital.
She reportedly lured away from her friends by a group of men and it suspected she was gang-raped, but police said Thursday they were still investigating.
The case has shocked the nation where tales of sexual violence are commonplace.
