Edward Rooi, the Stinkwater murder accused, made his first appearance at the Katutura Magistrates Court today.

Rooi is accused of shooting and killing his 57-year-old wife, Getrude Rooi, and his 30-year-old daughter, Goldie Landsberg, over the weekend.

Children of the late Gertrud Rooi say NamPol's Gender-Based Violence Investigation Unit and the police at Dordabis are aware of their father's alleged abusive nature.

The 57-year-old Rooi and her 30-year-old daughter, Goldie Landsberg, were allegedly shot dead on Saturday at Stinkwater by Edward Rooi.
