Accused linked to shooting of DA Kouga councillor's sons back in court


The suspect who allegedly shot the sons of a Kouga councillor made a brief appearance in the Humansdorp Magistrates Court on Thursday.

Juavandré Louw, 23, has been charged with two counts of attempted murder.

The State alleges that he shot and wounded Asif and Jacquin Ruiters at the Beachfront Nightclub in Jeffreys Bay on 17 March.

The Ruiters brothers were both shot in their stomachs just two weeks after their Father, Jaques Alexander, survived an attempt on his own life.

When the case was called, the State informed the court that the J88 documents were still outstanding.

The police earlier said that the attempt on Alexander's life, and the shooting of his sons, are seemingly not linked.

Louw has been in custody since his arrest and after a failed bid for bail.

He will appear in court again on 17 July.
