Four men accused in the stabbing and killing of 22-year-old Peter Bocky Amwaalwa made their first appearance in the Swakopmund Magistrate's Court.

Amwaalwa was found dead in a pool of blood by members of the police on patrol in Mondesa more than a week ago.

Suspects Ellen Goa-Eiseb (17), Linden Duwe (27), Sidney Jooste (24), and John Meriri (25) face a charge of murder each.

The four, among them a minor, are suspected of inflicting stabbing wounds on Amwaalwa, which caused his death.
