Community service for culpable homicideA young man convicted of culpable homicide last Friday who was sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment which was wholly suspended, will serve 200 days community service at Rocky Crest High School under the supervision of Andrew Kloppers from the high school.
The community service which started on 20 August must be completed within six months.
The court heard that on 17 November 2012, Simasiku Liswani Simasiku was driving along Sam Nujoma Avenue and knocked down and killed Elton Musa.
Magistrate Alexis Diergaardt further found Simasiku guilty of driving Simasiku Liswani Victor’s vehicle without his consent. The magistrate imposed a N$2 000 fine or six months’ imprisonment in default of payment of the fine.
He was also fined N$2 000 or six months’ imprisonment for driving a motor vehicle without a license on the day he killed Musa. Simasiku pleaded guilty to all the charges.
