During the early morning hours of 26 November 2024 three stocktheft suspects was arrested close to Otjiwarongo while they were coming back with 3 heifers they killed on a farm in the Otavi district .



They confessed to the stocktheft and identified to more suspects that were operating with them during the night , according to them the 2 additional perpetrators were offloaded next to the road with the firearm that were used to commit the heinous crime , both of these to as well as the other three has numerous stocktheft and poaching cases pending as well as cases of escape from police custody . The names of the above suspects are Mario Oaseb , Richard Gurirab(CR20/04/2023) , Ruben Gaeseb , Given Geingob and Willemse Prenico (CR15/11/2024)



They are appearing for their bail application on Monday 20th January . I am urging as many people as possible to please sign this petition to oppose their bail application and keep them behind bars untill they have been to trial and sentence has been passed.



These crimminals that are repeatedly apprehended has absolutely no respect for our laws and do not respect the values of a civilised community

We need to hit the one hundred signature threshold before the bail hearing to demonstrate significant public concern to the magistrate. Focus your outreach on local farm owners and residents in the Otavi district to ensure our document reflects the scale of this theft.

Stock theft create more economic losses for owners and country and law must protect farmer's. I'm victim of this horror crimes in the area.

Game and stock thieves should not get bail and they should be sentenced more severely. Further to that, very few prosecutors are aware of the fact that the Criminal Procedure Act makes provision for compensation to victims. Compensatory orders should also be invoced.

I request that the suspect not be granted bail, that their incarnation be moved to the Prison to carefully monitor and maintain their disconnection to their accomplices, Stock theft seems to be a criminal enterprise that jas found it's way into syndicates and organized crime and therefore suspect should be treated like the Fishrot bigwigs

I’m a farmer too, the system has failed us more than once by letting out suspected criminals, just to do it again!! Listen to the cry of our farmers, we wants to feed this nation!!!

So sad courts does not take previous arrests into consideration. Only convictions. All other countries take the character of a perpetrator into consideration. Only in Namibia does the poachers get numerous "get out of jail free cards".
