White River shooting suspect appears in court under heightened security
A man who faces charges of murder and attempted murder following a shooting is due to again appear in court next week.
A man linked to a shooting that left one person dead and another critically injured, near the White River Rugby Club in Mpumalana earlier this month, appeared in the White River Magistrate’s Court this morning.
Lowvelder reports that Marco Schalekamp (42) surrendered on June 17 and faces charges of murder and attempted murder in connection with the incident on June 5, in which Pieter Burger died and Arno van Niekerk was injured.
Schalekamp appeared in court this morning under heightened security.
The case was postponed to June 25 amid concerns over his flight risk status and unresolved questions surrounding his background.
More information will be published as it becomes available.
