A 34-year-old pastor of the Christ Centre Ministry Church appeared in the Swakopmund Magistrate's Court on charges of indecent assault against two women in the coastal town.

Felix Kudumo Kandjimi was granted bail of N$2,000, and his case was postponed until October 31, 2023, for further investigation.

The suspect was arrested after allegedly instructing the two female victims on different occasions to take off their clothes so that he could apply anointing water to their breasts and hips and try to massage their private parts as part of a healing ritual.

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.
