A SA Air Force member appeared in the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court on a murder charge on Tuesday.
The matter against Corporal Simphiwe Magudulela, 27, was postponed until September 17 for further investigation and to make arrangements for a psychiatric evaluation.
Magudulela was represented by a Legal Aid lawyer.
A man was killed and another was critically wounded in a shooting at the Bloemspruit Air Force Base, outside Bloemfontein, at 2am on September 1.
At the time, police said a member on duty had shot two colleagues.
One of the men died on the scene and the other was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
