Murder: 27 year old Paulus Nghipulenga in Oshakati Court for murder._Photo: Maria David<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

THE 27-year-old man accused of murdering his girlfriend at Ongwediva made his first brief court appearance in the Oshakati Magistrate\u2019s Court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Paulus Nghipulenga handed himself to the police on Sunday after he allegedly stabbed to death 23-year-old Gideon Hamuteta, an education student in her third year at the Hifikepunye Pohamba Campus in Ongwediva on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

Magistrate Toini Shilongo postponed the matter to 25 March to allow Nghipulenga a chance to apply for legal aid, as well as for further police investigations.<\/p>\n

State Prosecutor Mpule Siyamunji opposed the granting of bail, stating that the matter is serious and the case garnered high public interest.<\/p>\n

Nghipulenga was remanded in custody.<\/p>\n

A person involved with the case said that Hamuteta\u2019s self-confessed murderer sent a text message to his intended victim in which he threatened to kill her.<\/p>\n

Police still hasn\u2019t established, however, if the threatening message was sent while Nghipulenga was still in Windhoek or on his way to the North.<\/p>\n

The suspect later handed himself over to the Namibian Police officers on duty at the Ongwediva roadblock, after a failed attempt to end his own life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
