UPDATE: High Court Judge Marelize Du Plessis has found Prostasius Kuvirua guilty of the murder of his alleged girlfriend, whom he allegedly stabbed multiple times with a knife in March 2023 at Otjiwarongo\u2019s Telecom location. The judge also found Kuvirua guilty of a count of assault by threat. He was, however, found not guilty of the charges of malicious damage to property and obstructing or defeating the course of justice. It is alleged that an argument ensued after the deceased, Auguste Jonas, was found in her bedroom with another man. Kuvirua allegedly chased the man away before turning on Auguste with a knife. During the assault, Jonas allegedly fled to a neighbour\u2019s room, but Kuvirua allegedly broke down the door and continued stabbing her. Jonas died as a result of lacerations to the heart after being stabbed 13 times. Full story to follow. Photo: File<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
