Shikongo crash docket whereabouts remain a mystery

The whereabouts of the docket in a fatal crash investigation involving suspended police chief Joseph Shikongo remain disputed, with the prosecutor general’s office and the police giving conflicting accounts. Acting prosecutor general Martha Imalwa says the docket was returned to the police for further investigations, while acting deputy inspector general Elias Mutota maintains that the police completed their investigation and that the file remains with the prosecution. The conflicting accounts leave uncertainty over the next steps in a case involving a crash that claimed three lives. Speaking to The Namibian on Tuesday, Imalwa said her office was still waiting for the police to complete their investigations. “We are still waiting for the completion of the investigations by the police,” she said. Imalwa confirmed that the docket had been sent back to the Namibian Police for further investigations but could not immediately recall when it was returned.
