The case against Pinelands pastor Peter Hammond, accused of a paintball shooting spree with his son last Halloween, has been postponed for a month, when he will be asked to plead.

The 45-year-old evangelist, director of the Cape Town Frontline Fellowship and pro-gun campaigner, briefly appeared in the Goodwood magistrate's court on Wednesday on a charge of assault.

His 11-year-old son started out as his co-accused, but on a previous appearance the charge against him was dropped.

Since the minor would no longer join the proceedings, the case was transferred to a different courtroom.

The father of four allegedly took his children on a paintball shooting spree on Halloween night on October 31, firing at trick-or-treaters.
