Max Endjala

“Kalipi said that, in respect of count 1, the state led evidence that the murder was committed by a certain Max Endjala after the robbery was completed, in which case the learned magistrate ought to consider that even if the trial court finds that the appellant acted in common purpose with Max Endjala, who committed the actual act, such court will not make a finding that Angula foresaw the possibility of Max killing Frans Eiseb after the police arrived on the scene and then committing suicide.”

“The heist, in which diamonds worth N$315 million were stolen, resulted in the death of Namdia senior protection officer Francois Eiseb, who had allegedly responded to the robbery scene despite being off duty, and Max Endjala, who is alleged to be a suspect in the matter and took his own life after police closed in on the scene.”

“A Namdia security officer, Francis Eiseb (58), and one of the alleged robbers, Max Endjala (43), were killed when they were shot during the robbery.”

“One of the alleged robbers, Max Endjala (43), also died at the scene, allegedly due to a self-inflicted gunshot injury.”

“It is further alleged that Angula is related to two other suspects in the matter, which include Sam Shololo and deceased Max Endjala, who allegedly were at the scene with loaded pistols.”

“One of the alleged robbers, Max Endjala (43), also died at the scene, allegedly due to a self-inflicted gunshot injury.”

“He also stated he did not receive parcels from Namdia and that he was only arrested after the police apparently discovered that one of the robber suspects involved in the matter, Max Endjala, was his family member.”

“During cross-examination, Alexander established from investigating officer Nghilalulwa that it was the deceased Endjala who was responsible for the murder of Francis Eiseb, who was found shot dead in the server room downstairs, and that it was Endjala and Shololo who had committed the acts of attempted murder against the victims in the case.”

“Chief Inspector Simeon Nghilalulwa, has exposed incriminating evidence against Joel Angula, revealing that he and another co-accused, Max Endjala, held meetings at the Wanderers Sports Field to plan the execution of the heist.”

“According to a ballistics report obtained by the police, it was determined that the bullet that killed Namdia security officer Francis Eiseb was fired from a 9mm pistol that belonged to and was registered in the name of Endjala, detective chief inspector Simeon Nghilalulwa told magistrate Helvi Shikalepo during the hearing of a bail application by one of the men charged in connection with the robbery, former Namdia protection officer Joel Angula.”
