Walvis Bay murder suspects back in court

Six people charged with killing Matheus Sheehama must go back to Walvis Bay Magistrate's Court on April 29 for their bail hearing. The accused appeared before Magistrate Rosalia Andima on Thursday. Mervin Wapota, Jessica Gaes, Jimmy Gaeb, Romano Paulus, Enrico Gomachab, and Moses Kandume face murder charges. A seventh suspect, Michael Awaseb, has a separate court date set for May 13.

Police arrested all seven suspects last August after people walking near Independence Beach found Sheehama's body on July 21, 2024. The 24-year-old had been missing for a week. He disappeared from a house in Kuisebmond on July 27 following an attack at a cookout where he allegedly slapped Jessica Gaes' brother.

Sheehama had traveled from Windhoek to visit his mother, Lydia Amungenga. The day he vanished, he called her, but she couldn't understand him. She thought he was drunk and ended the call. She never saw her eldest son alive again. He leaves behind two siblings.
