The 38-year-old Olivia Kalimbo who stands accused of murdering her boyfriend and father of her three children, Lukas Fotolela, will be brought back to court on 8 November for her pre-trial, after she was denied bail yesterday at the Oshakati magistrate’s court by Magistrate Siegfried Geiseb.
The prosecutorial authority argued that the state has a serious case against Kalimbo and that the investigations are still at the preliminary stage, adding that granting her bail would not be in the interest of justice.
Kalimbo was arrested after she allegedly attacked her 48-year-old boyfriend on Thursday last week and stabbed him to death, shortly before she proceeded to stab the deceased’s brother who attempted to confront her when she disclosed to him about the crime she committed. The incident took place at a Cuca shop in Omakango Village of Ohangwena region.
She faces a charge of murder and attempted murder read with the Domestic Violence Act.
