Title:

No bail for repeat offenders: Environment minister Pohamba Shifeta has pleaded with courts to deny bail to repeat offenders

Author(s):
Smith Y
Publication Year:
2019
Abstract:

Environment minister Pohamba Shifeta says some of the 120 suspects arrested last year for wildlife crimes were repeat offenders who were out on bail for similar crimes. “It is discouraging when a suspect is arrested for a crime today and the next day commits the same crime again. We do not want to tell justice what to do, but a repeat offender should not be let out on bail,” Shifeta said yesterday.
