Namibia: Former Cop Guilty of Murder

Former senior police officer Morgan Brian Plaatjie has been found guilty, by the Windhoek High Court of killing his ex-girlfriend and mother of his children nearly three years ago.

Judge Dinnah Usiku yesterday convicted Plaatjie on a count of murder, read with provisions of the Domestic Violence Act, for the death of Yvette Sharon Louw, who died in June 2021.

The court accepted the evidence of a single witness who heard Plaatjie on 7 May 2021 threatening that he would kill Louw.
