Johannesburg - Two men, allegedly involved in a shooting that left three-year-old Luke Tibbetts dead, are expected to appear in the Newlands Magistrate's Court in Johannesburg, on Monday.
Lindray Khakhu, 24, who allegedly shot Tibbetts in Westbury on August 2, appeared in court on Tuesday but the case was postponed for a formal bail application.
The court heard that Khakhu faced 18 charges including murder, attempted murder, illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, and pointing a firearm.
Prosecutor Dion van Wyk requested that the court transfer the murder case to the high court.
Keenan Mokwena, 28, also appeared on Tuesday for allegedly pointing a firearm in the shooting.
The case was postponed to allow the State to obtain further evidence.
Mokwena and Tibbetts were travelling in Westbury in different vehicles during the shooting on August 2. They were taken to nearby hospitals after the shooting.
Mokwena was shot in his right arm. He was treated and discharged.
Tibbetts was critically wounded and died in hospital on August 8. He had been on life support machines since the event.
