The case in which a Sunward Park man is accused of brutally stabbing a female Uber driver and trying to drive over her with her own car on December 26 last year, drew a large crowd comprising members of the media and supporters of an advocacy group, to the Boksburg Magistrate’s Court on January 24. The accused, Jacques Henry Scharneck (29), was on parole for a rape conviction at the time of the attack. He was arrested for the attack on December 27, last year, and at his fi rst appearance in the Boksburg District Court, bail was denied and he was remanded in custody. Wednesday, last week, was his fi rst appearance in the Boksburg Region- al Court and saw him shuffl e into the courtroom in leg irons, wearing jeans and a khaki jacket. The case was postponed to Febru- ary 27 for further investigation and Scharneck was remanded in custody.
