Detective Inspector Pendukeni Nghuluwa, this morning, testified that there are serious allegations that a Rehoboth resident died at drug-accused Naomi Fisch’s house while doing drugs.
He said bail should not be granted, as these allegations are still being investigated.
State Advocate Lilungwe Basson, this morning, told the Windhoek High Court that the State is not ready to proceed with the appeal of the bail application by Peter and Malakia Elindi and former Namcor executives Immanuel Mulunga, Jennifer Hamukwaya, Olivia Dunaiski, and Leo Nandago.
Detective Inspector Pendukeni Nghuluwa took the witness stand to oppose bail for Naomi Fisch, describing her as a well-known drug dealer in Rehoboth.
Nghuluwa stated that Fisch has a history of arrests and currently has a pending drug case.
The town of Rehoboth has come under scrutiny for drug use following the arrest of five individuals on drug-related charges.
Among those arrested are Naomi Fisch and her boyfriend, Steven Schneiders.
Court proceedings in the Rehoboth drug case continued on Friday.
One of the co-accused of Naomi Fisch, Menschel Beukes, testified in favour of Fisch and said he wants justice for her.
Menschel Beukes (33) told the court on Friday that he was responsible for the drugs that led to the arrest of Naomi Fisch and her boyfriend, Steven Schneiders, who are facing charges of dealing in drugs and money laundering.
Steven Schneiders told the court that he attempted to take his own life after learning that his girlfriend and co-accused, Naomi Fisch, had suffered a miscarriage.
Naomi Fisch told the court that her boyfriend and co-accused, Steven Schneider, is a senior general in a gang known as the 28s. She also said she is aware that he has three previous convictions.
Schneider was released last year in June after serving a murder conviction.
Residents of Rehoboth have been urged to identify and address the root causes of the high use and dealing of drugs in the town.
Bail applicant George Cloete has objected to cross-examination by the state on his bank account transactions during his bail application hearing in the Keetmanshoop Magistrate's court.
Cloete faces counts of violating the Prevention of Organised Crime Act and illicit trafficking under the Diamond Act.
