The colleagues of the late Ondangwa Court control prosecutor Justine Shiweda say picking up the pieces following her demise remains an uphill battle.

Police and prosecutors have linked the fatal attack on Ondangwa prosecutor Justine Shiweda to a case in which she opposed bail for jailed former police officer Abner "Kapilili" Mateus. Justine Shiweda's job has cost her life. 

Oshana Police Commander Commissioner Naftal Sakaria stated that the investigation into the attack on a public prosecutor in Ondangwa on 17 October has established that the assault was directly linked to the prosecutor’s involvement in a high-profile criminal case.
