A Gobabis resident accused of carrying out a fatal assault on his pregnant girlfriend three years ago has now been found guilty on a charge of murder.
Jacobus Gawaseb (29) was convicted on a count of murder, committed with a direct intention to kill, in a judgement delivered by judge Dinnah Usiku in the High Court at Windhoek Correctional Facility on Monday.
Usiku concluded that the state proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Gawaseb committed the crime of murder with a direct intention to kill.
Gawaseb admitted during his trial that he assaulted his then girlfriend, Fransiska Naobes (24), in the Epako area of Gobabis during the night of 2 to 3 March 2023.
