Shaduka saga ends

Namibia’s most prominent fugitive, Lazarus Shaduka, surrendered himself at the Namibian consulate at Ondjiva, Angola, yesterday.

According to Namibian Police Inspector-General Sebastian Ndeitunga, 43-year-old Shaduka went to the consulate “all by himself”.

Shaduka fled Namibia on 13 December 2012, mere hours after a full bench of the Supreme Court convicted him of the murder his wife Selma, 33.

Shaduka, a former chief of property at the City of Windhoek, killed his wife in Windhoek on 13 July 2008 by shooting her in the back. He was arrested on 14 July 2008.
