He appeared in the Bellville Magistrate's Court on Monday facing charges of murder and attempted murder.
Van Wyk, who was a teacher at Hoërskool Monument Park in Kraaifontein, was stabbed to death in her bed during a robbery at her home in Durbanville in June. Her husband survived the attack.
The body of the 62-year-old was found by her son.
