Bloemfontein - The assault case against Gauteng police officer Christoffel Neuhoff has been postponed until 13 May.
The matter has been referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions for a decision. It is believed a trial date will be set at Neuhoff’s next appearance.
Neuhoff, a police officer with the Boipatong Crime Prevention Unit in Gauteng, is accused of assaulting Eben and Neil Sonnekus in a fuel station convenience store in Bloemfontein in the early hours of 2 March.
He appeared briefly in court last week on two charges of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Neuhoff was granted bail of R500 and told to be back in court today.
Gauteng police this week confirmed an internal disciplinary process has been initiated and said Neuhoff will be suspended until the outcome of both the criminal case and the SAPS disciplinary have been finalised.
