Namibia: Fugitive Former Soldier Finally Arrested

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.

Oshakati – Police in Omusati Region have finally arrested a former soldier who has been on the run for almost four months.

Iipinge Andreas Shikwambi (39) was arrested at his hideout in a mountains area near Ruacana. Shikwambi has been a fugitive since April 13, 2010 after he allegedly murdered his 30-year-old girlfriend at Etunda village. He allegedly accused his girlfriend Selma Namiti Shithika of having an affair with his uncle, who was also Shithika’s employer at the time of her death.

On the day of the murder, Shikwambi allegedly went to the cucashop where Shithika was employed as a bar lady. There, he accused her and threatened to beat her up. His uncle intervened to protect Shithika. Shikwambi then left and promised to come back. Shithika ran away and hid in a hut at Shi-kwambi’s uncle’s house.

Shikwambi, a former soldier in the South African Army, also well known in his village for his skills in repairing guns, allegedly returned from his homestead with a shotgun that was brought to his workshop for repair and followed Shithika to his employer’s homestead.

Shithika allegedly locked herself up in a hut but Shikwambi managed to shoot her through a hole in the hut. When police arrived at the scene, Shithika was already dead and Shikwambi had fled the scene. Since then he has been playing hide and seek with the police, using tactics he gained as a soldier. He allegedly survived by killing livestock, especially goats, and by stealing pots from houses.

During searches, police officers reportedly found pots, dry meat hanged on trees and tablets for a chronic disease which he is believed to suffer from. He appeared at Ruacana Magistrate Court yesterday.
