Abner Mateus, accused of murder, admitted in the Ondangwa Magistrate’s Court that he intentionally concealed his arrest and nearly three-year detention from his co-accused and nephew, Petrus Shikwaya. Mateus, a former police officer, testified that he was arrested in November 2022 on fraud charges and has been in custody since. He and Shikwaya are among six men charged in connection with the attack on Ondangwa prosecutor Justine Shiweda, who was shot and doused with acid, later succumbing to her injuries. Mateus claimed he maintained contact with Shikwaya but misled him about his whereabouts, stating he was involved in a buy-and-sell business. He also revealed he had taken out an insurance policy in Shikwaya's name, depositing funds monthly for premiums without disclosing the policy's purpose.
This item reveals a complex legal case involving deception and concealment, impacting the understanding of co-accused relationships and motives.
