Magistrate Vicky Nikolaidis has postponed the case of seven individuals accused of murdering NUST student Matheus Sheehama at Walvis Bay, to next week.

The seven suspects made a second court appearance, and their case was postponed to the 22nd and 23rd of October for a formal bail application.

Police say their calls to seek clarity from prosecutors regarding the provisional withdrawal of the murder case of 31-year-old Keetmanshoop resident Elleste Plaatjie have been met with silence.

Plaatjie's murder case was provisionally withdrawn at the Keetmanshoop Magistrate's Court on September 2nd.

A 45-year-old man was arrested on stock theft charges after he was caught with 14 stolen Bonsmara studs from Farm Omantumba in the Hochfeld area of Okahandja District, Otjozondjupa Region.

The cattle are valued at N$426,000.
