THE three suspects who are alleged to have killed bartender Emilia Erastus (21) at Onakaheke village in the district of Outapi appeared in the Oshakati High Court yesterday.
It is alleged that Herman Mbango (21), Simon Shaanika (27) and Tylves Shaanika (19) broke into the sleeping room of Erastus between 29 to 31 March 2011 and took turns to rape her before suffocating the deceased.
The suspects allegedly also broke into the adjacent bar where the deceased was working and stole a number of items.
Erastus died at the scene and the suspects escaped temporarily.
The case was postponed to Friday 26 July 2013.
State Advocate Dominic Lisulo represented the prosecution yesterday, while Simson Aingura, Natalia Amupolo and Grace Mugaviri represented the suspects.
Comments
I have noticed that most media houses report on stories when they just happen and thereafter no one reports on the progress or status of the matter, reaffirming the belief in the public that media houses are only there to make a buck. This story enjoyed public attention and I am 100% sure that the Namibian public want to know what has happened to the people arrested in connection with the murder. The media is expected to inform us through out the proceedings down to the very end. So well done Namibian for keeping us informed. i was wondering what happened to this case but now i know. Keep telling it like it is. - Herman Kalipa
