A KEY witness in the murder trial of a member of the South Mrican Security Policet narrowly escaped death earlier this month after being asked by two unidentified men to accompany them to their car where he was lured into drinking what he . to be beer. Mr Napeheri Nderura, a prime witness in the murder trial ofCaptain Pat David King, which resumed in the Windhoek Supreme Court on Wednes­ day, was approached by two men under the f!'llse pretext oflookingfor goats to buy when they gave him what turned out not to be b er, but some poisonous liquid substance or a combination of both. " Captain King is facing a murder charge arising from the death of. Johannes KakuvaofKaokoland, who was arrested in Opuwo in August 1980 together with 24 other people, in­ cluding Napeheri Nderura. In his affidavit in 1983, Napeheri Nderura testified that he was arrested together with Kakuva and others at die Werda Fblice Station in Opuwo. He was blindfolded and made to lie on his stomach and repeatedly beaten with a stick while being interrrogated about Swapo insurgents in the Okavare area. He stated that from where he lay, he heard the screaming of Johannes Kakuva and that later that day he felt a weight being dumped on him. He managed to lift the blindfold and saw the body of Kakuva lying over him. Mr Nderura told of his ordeal this week at the hands of two Owambo­ speaking men who arrivejl at his home at Manduu in Kaokoland on the pretence of buying goats. The elderly Kaokoland farmer was out in the veld tending his goats when two men arrived at his Manduu cattle post in a white 'Ibyota vehicle on August 5, and asked for goats to buy from Mr Nderura's' wives. The women told the two s.trangers that there were no goats for ~le. They then asked where Mr Nderura had gone to and left a message that he be told that they would come back. Mr Nderura remained at his home the following day when the two visitors came back again and asked him ifhe had any goats to sell. The elderly farmer answered in the negative SWAPO LEADERSHIP ARRESTED IN SWOOP whereafter the two men beckoned him THREE SWAPO leaders and two union officials were arrested in a swoop this week and are held under Section 6 of the Terrorism Act.
