A man accused of hacking his 28-year-old girlfriend with a panga at the Orwetoveni residential area of Otjiwarongo in Otjozondjupa region on Friday, has pleaded guilty to the murder. Forty-year-old Josia Shimwefeleni preferred to conduct his own defence, after his rights were explained to him this morning. Shimwefeleni told the Magistrate’s Court that he killed Nambahu, because she was allegedly cheating on him. The two people had been in a relationship for sometime and the incident took place at the suspect’s house at Orwetoveni. The court postponed the case to the 15th of next month for the Prosecutor-General’s Office to advise on the matter. The State opposed bail to the accused.
