Teenager gets 10 years in jail
A SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD boy who was charged with the murder of Petrus Eixab in Swakopmund in June 2009 was found guilty in the Swakopmund Regional Court on Friday. Magistrate Gaynor Poulton sentenced the boy to 15 years' imprisonment, of which five years were suspended. The stabbing occurred on June 7 2009 when Eixab,who was 27 years old at the time, was on his way home from the center of town, where he earned a living as a busker at the entrance of the Woermann Brock arcade. According to court reports, the boy claimed that he had a sexual relationship with Eixab. On the day of the incident,he apparently did not want to consent to sex with Eixab who was drunk, and a fight ensued. He stabbed Eixab at least 10 times in the back, 10 times in the chest and twice in his feet, and was arrested on the day. Eixab subsequently died of blood loss, the postmortem report indicated. .
