A mom lied to police about where her daughter was when officers investigated the case. She told them the nine-year-old girl stayed with her father in Zimbabwe. Two officers gave this testimony during court proceedings against three people accused of murder. The trial continues at the Windhoek High Court with Judge Philanda Christiaan presiding. The case involves the death of young Akundaishe Natalie Chipomho.
Police charged three Zimbabwean citizens with killing the girl in January 2020. The accused include Edward Nkata, who is 42 years old, and Caroline Nkata, aged 41. They face charges along with Rachel Kureva, the 42-year-old mother of the victim. The murder allegedly happened between January 23 and January 25 that year. Authorities believe the crime took place somewhere in Windhoek.
Court records show the mother misled investigators during the early search for her daughter. She created a false story about the child visiting Zimbabwe with her father. Officers later discovered this information was not true during their investigation. The revelation came as part of ongoing testimony from law enforcement witnesses. The prosecution continues building its case against all three defendants in the matter.
