Ex-cop jailed 30 years for murder
A former police constable who shot and killed a club reveller in Khomasdal five years ago has been sentenced to an effective 30 years’ imprisonment.
Justin Sunsu Simataa was further sentenced to 15 years for attempted murder, two years for malicious damage to property and one year for discharging a firearm in public place.
Judge Nate Ndauendapo ordered that the prison terms on the last three offences run concurrently with the 30-year sentence for the murder of Firmino Fabrice Mael (25) on 26 October 2012.
He ordered that the murder weapon be forfeited to the state and declared Simataa unfit to carry a firearm for 20 years after the completion of his prison term.
The judge said Simataa had expressed regret about the murder, and also apologised for attempting to kill the deceased’s friend, Milikan Likando, on the same day.
