A Kenyan national faces murder charges in Namibia after his girlfriend was found dead days before Valentine’s Day, unearthing a dark tale of domestic violence.

The silence of Otjomuise Extension 2 in Windhoek was shattered by a discovery that has sent shockwaves from Namibia back to Nairobi. Geoffrey Jeff Kasume, a 40-year-old Kenyan national, stands accused of the brutal murder of his girlfriend, Regina 'Nambashu' Kondombolo, just days before she was set to celebrate her birthday and Valentine’s Day.

The grim tableau was revealed on a Monday evening, but police believe the tragedy unfolded the previous Saturday. The details emerging from the Katutura Magistrate's Court paint a harrowing picture of obsession and violence.

The Crime Scene

Prosecutors allege that Kasume, in a calculated move, broke down the door of the deceased’s house in the company of the landlord, feigning concern for a woman he had allegedly already killed. Inside, the body of the 33-year-old ambitious entrepreneur lay lifeless.

The Legal Noose Tightens

Kasume appeared before Magistrate Olivia van der Byl, charged with murder read alongside the Combating of Domestic Violence Act. The State has fiercely opposed bail, citing him as a flight risk due to his Kenyan citizenship and the severity of the crime.

• Victim: Regina Kondombolo (33), Namibian.
• Charges: Murder, Obstruction of Justice, Violating a Corpse.
• Next Hearing: April 24, 2026.

A Dream Cut Short

Regina was described by friends as a woman of ambition, running a small "order-with-me" business and saving for a beautician course. Her death is not just a statistic; it is the extinguishing of a bright light.

“He remained in custody at the Windhoek Correctional Facility,” reports confirm. As the investigation deepens, the families of both the victim and the accused are left to grapple with a tragedy that transcends borders.
