The second suspect in the Namib Desert Diamonds (NAMDIA) robbery, Sam Shololo, was caught in the act of the crime, the state informed the Windhoek Magistrates Court.

Trustco Group Holdings is paying respect to one of its employees who died on Saturday after he allegedly shot himself in the head during a diamond heist at NAMDIA.

The company will be flying its company-logo-bearing flag at half-mast; globally, this usually is a mark of respect for a person who has died.
