WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

MURDER victim Phenny Ipinge, who died at the hands of her own son near the end of 2006, was stabbed 39 times in the attack that ended her life.
A report on the autopsy done on Ipinge’s body after she was discovered lying dead in a pool of blood on the floor of the lounge of her house in Windhoek became part of the evidence in the trial of her son, Natangwe Ipinge Ngatjizeko, in the High Court in Windhoek yesterday.
Ngatjizeko (30) pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances at the start of his trial before Judge Nate Ndauendapo on Thursday last week.
He is accused of murdering his mother in her home in Katutura’s Shandumbala area on December 17 2006, and of robbing her by stealing N$20 from her after the killing. Ipinge (58) was found stabbed to death, and had also suffered second and third degree burn wounds when her son allegedly threw a pot of boiling water over her.
Ipinge was a former personal assistant to Namibia’s first First Lady, Kovambo Nujoma.
Photographs that were taken at Ipinge’s house after the discovery of her body are now also part of the evidence before Judge Ndauendapo.
The photos depict a shocking scene.
Ipinge was found lying on her back on the floor of her lounge. She lay in a pool of blood. The scene around her was awash in blood as well.
The house was found locked after a neighbour had heard her screaming for help on the afternoon of December 17 2007, the court has heard.
After the locked house had been opened, Ipinge was found lying inside. Her killer had covered the gruesome sight of her body and slashed face with a blanket before he left the scene. The scene was not cleaned up, though.
Blood was also found in other parts of Ipinge’s house, such as the kitchen, the bathroom, and the bedrooms.
On a couch in the lounge a blood-smeared knife, about 30,5 centimetres in length and its blade alone close to 18 cm long, was found. On the floor close to the couch another bloodied knife – this one 21 cm long, with a blade length of 11 cm – was found.
Ipinge died as a result of multiple stab wounds, a ruptured liver and ruptured lungs, it is stated in an autopsy report that the head of the Forensic Department at Windhoek Central Hospital, Dr Simasiku Kabanje, provided to the court yesterday.
The post mortem examination on Ipinge’s body was carried out by another doctor, who has since left the country, with the result that Dr Kabanje had to read his former colleague’s recorded findings to the court.
The doctor found 39 stab wounds on Ipinge’s remains. These included nine stab wounds to her face, one stab wound on the side of her neck, two stab wounds to the right side of her head, three stab wounds to her breasts, seven stab wounds to her chest and abdomen, and four in her back. Other wounds were recorded on her shoulders, wrists and fingers.
In a written plea explanation given to Judge Ndauendapo on Thursday, Ngatjizeko admitted that he had “seriously assaulted” his mother on the day in question. He stated that although he could recall certain events of that day, he was not certain if his memories were figments of his imagination, recurring nightmares or dreams, or whether these were in fact a true reflection of events.
Ngatjizeko stated that he could not deny having poured boiling water over his mother or having stabbed her repeatedly with a knife or knives.
He claimed that at the time of the incident he was suffering from a mental defect, caused by years of substance abuse – in particular the use of cannabis – and stated that he believed he was psychotic when he committed the alleged offences. As a result of his mental condition he was not able to properly appreciate the wrongfulness of his deeds at the time of the incident, he claimed.
Ngatjizeko underwent a period of psychiatric observation during last year. A State psychiatrist is expected to testify on this period of observation and the findings that resulted from it when the trial continues tomorrow.
Ngatjizeko is being represented by defence lawyer Jan Wessels. State advocate Constance Moyo is prosecuting.
