It is thought the murder may have been over a loval rival.
Two men who first met in prison have been convicted of murder after travelling 8,000 miles to kill a man in cold blood.
Namibian courts have cited multiple reasons for the 12-year delay, including the Covid pandemic, but they also claim many of the setbacks have been ‘on the part of the accused’. He claims Kevan has not been given a fair trial and argues that he should be dealt with separately to Thomas. ‘There is no reason why a person can be stripped of their freedom for over a decade without ever seeing a judge. All he wants is a fair trial!!!’Once the case got underway in November 2014, prosecutors said Thomas and Townsend flew to Namibia on December 27, 2010, after organising for two gun barrels and a silencer to be posted there from Finland, labelled as furniture parts.
Andre had reportedly met her in 2007 while studying in Switzerland before he spent some time in 2010 working in New York – where Thomas and Townsend lived – before returning to his home in Namibia. Birgit told how her son dropped her and her daughter off at their family restaurant ‘in a hurry’, supposedly to meet the two Americans for lunch. His family never saw him again.When emergency services rushed to try and save Andre, they found that his phone and wallet with 100 Swiss francs in it were missing.
