Murder accused allegedly laundered money through grandmother’s bank account

Murder accused Petrus Shikwaya (22) allegedly laundered money through his grandmother’s bank account, the Ondangwa Magistrate’s Court heard during his bail hearing on Wednesday.

The allegation surfaced during a cross-examination by prosecutor Yukai Kangira, who questioned Shikwaya about his relationship with Hilma Uutsi (65).

Shikwaya is one of six men accused of orchestrating and carrying out the attack on Ondangwa control prosecutor Justine Shiweda in October last year.

The state alleged that the attack was coordinated by Shikwaya’s uncle, Abner Mateus, while he was in police custody.

Shiweda (32) was shot seven times and attacked with a corrosive substance during the incident.
