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.

Walvis Bay – A Kuisebmond woman was shot in cold blood allegedly by her husband who then turned the pistol on himself on Sunday.

Exact details of what happened are not available yet, but it is believed that Henock Nghende (43) killed his wife, Mariam (age unknown), before turning the gun on himself.

The only witness on that fateful day was a 14-year-old girl, Beata Gabriel.

She said Mariam had gone to church and thereafter spent most of her time at home, while her husband was out. At around 21h00 her husband returned home.

“I think they were arguing in the backyard shack they rented from my mother. While I was sitting in the kitchen, I just saw the woman running into our house and she went into my mother’s bedroom where she was eating super. The woman said her husband had a gun and wanted to shoot her. My mother didn’t understand her well because she was shivering and wasn’t talking well,” she explained.

She added that before Mariam could finish talking, her husband burst in and shot her.

The man showed up in the house with a pistol in his hand, it is reported.

“My mother and the late woman tried to lock her bedroom, but the man just pushed the door open and entered. I wanted to push him away, but I was afraid he would shoot me. His wife started hiding behind my mom while screaming and crying. The man shot my mom in the right thigh and she fell down,” the girl said.

According to the girl, when the man shot her mother, she ran outside because she feared for her life.

The man then shot his wife three times in the back. After shooting the two women, he fled to his shack where he shot himself.

The incident happened at house number 2753, Aasvoël Street in Kuisebmond.

“My mother dragged herself from the bedroom, while Mariam lay in a pool of blood in the room.

“She called for help and neighbours phoned the police. The ambulance came and took her to the hospital.

“I am so glad and thank God that she didn’t die because I don’t have a father. He passed on in 2005,” Gabriel noted.

Nghende reportedly sat on his bed and shot himself in the head. Police said a Bible was found next to his body. It is believed that he read the Bible before he committed suicide.

The couple was pronounced dead at the house.

The landlady is in a stable condition and was transferred to Windhoek yesterday.

The couple married in 2005 and had no children in their marriage although each had children from previous relationships.

Neighbours accused the man of being violent towards his wife since marriage.

“Even the day they got married, he beat her up and her ribs broke. But he told her not to tell people the truth but must say she fell while taking a bath,” said one woman who preferred anonymity.

She apparently didn’t even have teeth in her upper jaw as the husband had knocked them out during one of the fights.

Mariam worked for Etale Fishing Company, while Nghende was an employee of the Ministry of Environment and Tourism.
