A 50-year-old man, who allegedly shot his estranged wife in the head at the weekend, made a brief appearance in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate’s Court on Monday after himself being discharged from hospital.
He's believed to have injected himself with an unknown substance, moments after the shooting.
Police spokesperson, Captain Sandra Janse Van Rensburg, said he was remanded in custody at St Albans Prison and will be back in court next Monday the 9th of September.
The investigation is on-going and the name of the suspect will not be released to protect the identity of his children.
It's alleged that the man shot his 36-year-old wife on Saturday at a house in Brighton Street in Summerstrand.
The couple is currently in the process of a divorce.
According to police, when the woman and her sister went to the house they were confronted by her husband who was armed.
A shot was fired injuring the woman in her head.
