Jurgen Vandekeere appeared in the Pretoria High Court today (January 16) for the murder and rape of Chantelle Barnard.
He had been on the run from police since September 9, 2013, after failing to appear in the Delmas High Court for the start of his trail.

Barnard was found raped and murdered in Brentwood Park on April 1, 2011, after she went missing earlier that day.
Vandekeere was denied bail in the Benoni Magistrate’s Court on December 7, 2011.
He was then released on bail of R20 000 on January 4, 2012, in the Gauteng High Court.
