A man who is accused of severely beating his teenage girlfriend will remain in custody.
The 28-year-old Sean Hendricks was arrested last week after he allegedly brutally assaulted and stabbed his 18-year-old girlfriend in a house in the Kwanonqubela Township in Alexandria.
He appeared briefly in the local Magistrates Court on Friday where his bail was denied.
Hendricks, who is originally from Uitenhage, was arrested after members of the public alerted police about hearing strange noises coming from their house.
The victim was taken to a local hospital but was transferred to a hospital in Port Elizabeth where she remains in a critical condition.
Hendricks is being charged with attempted murder and will be back in court on the 27th of October.
