Chauke appeared briefly in court last week facing charges of attempted murder, possession of an unlicensed firearm and malicious damage to property. Details regarding an additional case set for trial in February were not immediately available in court, although earlier media reports indicated he previously faced a charge relating to the discharge of an unlicensed firearm.
