A Gobabis man will spend the next 37 years in jail for killing his 10-month-old baby boy by throwing him to the ground and subsequently fracturing his skull.
Dawid Nowaseb, 27, threw the child to the ground to spite his girlfriend, Lucia Geinamseb shortly after an argument erupted between the two. The boy, August Geinamseb died due to hypervolemic shock, according to a post mortem report.
Nowseb was sentenced by high court Judge Christie Liebenberg this morning, weeks after he admitted that he indeed killed the boy. According to Nowaseb however, his intention was not to kill the child although he knew that throwing him to the ground could cause his death.
