Serbian murderer Dobrosav Gavric will spend the next two weeks behind bars at Sea Point police station.
On Wednesday morning, he appeared in the Cape Town Magistrates' Court after he handed himself over to the Hawks.
Gavric is wanted in Serbia for a triple murder that happened in January 2000.
Authorities believe he entered South Africa in 2007, using a fake passport.
It has also emerged that Gavric was driving underworld boss Cyril Beeka when he was shot dead in a Bellville hit during March 2011.
A frail looking Gavric limped onto the dock on crutches.
He was meant to apply for bail but the magistrate postponed the application until January 10.
Meanwhile, Serbian authorities want Gavric to be extradited back to the eastern European country to serve a 35-year jail term handed down in absentia.
Gavric’s lawyer Jeanne Smuts said they will oppose the extradition.
“Regrettably, the application could not be heard because the state applied for a postponement."
Smuts said his client is very ill and is receiving treatment from a neurologist.
