IN THE HIGH COURT OF NAMIBIA
In the matter between:
THE STATE
versus
THOMAS WILBARD
CORAM: PARKER, J. et SILUNGWE, AJ.
Delivered on: 2007 March 29
REVIEW JUDGMENT:
PARKER, J:
[1] The accused pleaded guilty to housebreaking with intent to commit an offence unknown to the State. He was accordingly convicted and sentenced. I have perused the record, and I am satisfied that the proceedings are in accordance with justice, but the formulation of the sentence is wrong.
[2] In the result, the conviction is confirmed and the sentence is set aside and the following is put in its place:
The accused is sentenced to ten months’ imprisonment with intent to commit an offence unknown to the State or
of which five months are suspended for two years on
condition that the accused is not convicted of housebreaking
housebreaking with intent to steal, committed during the
period of suspension.
