S v Hausiku (CC 29 of 2019) [2022] NAHCMD 418 (17 August 2022)
The accused was not under imminent attack when he killed the deceased; his claim of self-defence was rejected due to contradictions and lack of credible evidence. The accused's admissions and forensic evidence established his guilt on all counts beyond reasonable doubt. The complainant's evidence was credible and corroborated by DNA and other evidence. The accused's failure to cross-examine on key points undermined his defence. The accused's version was found to be improbable and false.
