Brothers remanded in the sibling murder case

TSUMEB – Moses Uiseb (34) and Alfonso Uiseb (26) were denied bail last week for allegedly killing their 28-year-old brother, David Uiseb, with a knife and stones.

The two made their first appearance in the Tsumeb Magistrate’s Court on Friday.

The case was postponed to 27 January 2027 for further police investigations. The incident allegedly happened last week at Kuvukiland location in Tsumeb. Oshikoto Regional Commander Commissioner Ndafudha Iifo confirmed the incident.

According to the police report, the three brothers allegedly went to several shebeens, where they spent the night drinking.

Police said that on their way home, the brothers started arguing, which allegedly resulted in the two brothers attacking David.

It is alleged that one of the brothers first struck David with a stone, while the second brother later stabbed him with a knife.

David died at the scene, while his two brothers fled. They were arrested the following day.

Police said the reason for the argument remains unclear, while investigations are ongoing.

Commissioner Iifo urged people to refrain from engaging in arguments while intoxicated or at shebeens, saying such situations can be dangerous.

“When a person is drunk, they are capable of attacking someone. It is important for a person to leave the shebeen to avoid confrontation,” she said. [email protected]
