Shaduka behind bars Namibia''s most wanted fugitive has finally been handed over to the Namibian Correctional Service to start serving his 20-year prison sentence for killing his wife, Selma Shaimemanya Shaduka, in 2008.This was confirmed by police spokesperson Deputy Commissioner Edwin Kanguatjivi yesterday.
He said Shaduka was handed over at the Windhoek Central Prison to start serving his jail sentence.
According to Kanguatjivi, Shaduka, who surrenderd at the Namibian consulate in Ondjiva, southern Angola, on Monday, was flown to Windhoek in a police helicopter.
“We were fortunate that our helicopter was there at the time, so we just flew him in,” he said.
Shaduka fled Namibia on 13 December 2012, mere hours after the Supreme Court convicted him of the murder of his wife.
According to Kanguatjivi, Shaduka will simply start serving his sentence and will not appear in court any time soon.
“We can still weigh our options after consultations with the prosecuting authorities. This will determine whether we have a case. This man was sentenced four years back, now we have to consult whether we may have a prima facie case,” said Kanguatjivi.
