A Port Elizabeth man, accused of stabbing his estranged wife several times, is expected back in the city's magistrate’s court on Thursday.
Forty-seven year old Martin Stevens from Algoa Park is facing a charge of attempted murder, after he allegedly stabbed his estranged wife, Anna-Marie Stevens, outside her friend’s flat in October last year.
He subsequently handed himself over to police after being on the run following the alleged incident.
At his last court appearance in March, Stevens’s lawyer indicated that his client was waiting for a bed at the Fort England Psychiatric Hospital.
According to reports, Stevens killed his ex-wife Hettie and her friend Colin Rosslee 15 years ago, before attempting to commit suicide by turning the gun on himself .
Stevens was acquitted of the double murder after the court found he had suffered a psychotic episode.
