S v Malumo and Others (10) (CC 32 of 2001) [2011] NAHC 220 (19 July 2011)
The High Court refused to admit Exhibit EPA as documentary evidence, holding the accused’s handwritten statement was a confession and that confession requirements were not met.
S v Malumo and Others (5) (CC 32 of 2001) [2010] NAHCMD 1 (1 March 2010)
The State failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the confessions and admissions were made freely and voluntarily, as required by law. The accused were not adequately informed of their right to legal representation, including legal aid, and magistrates failed to investigate allegations of coercion or clarify ambivalent answers. These failures constitute fatal irregularities and violations of the right to a fair trial, rendering all the statements inadmissible.
