Ballistic reports expected as Marco Schalekamp returns to White River court

Marco Schalekamp is accused of a double shooting that took place in June.

It’s been more than a month since murder-accused Marco Schalekamp was denied bail on July 8 after he failed to prove the existence of exceptional circumstances during his bail hearing.

According to Lowvelder, he is expected to appear in the White River Magistrate’s Court on Thursday for his next hearing, in which ballistic reports could be presented to the court.

He stands accused of premeditated murder and attempted murder following the fatal shooting of Pieter Burger and the wounding of Arno van Niekerk near the White River Rugby Club in the early hours of June 5.
