The incident took place last Friday at around 21:00 at the cuca shops in Otunganga village, a police report read.

It is alleged that a 37-year-old man was caught red-handed raping the 22-year-old victim by community members who came to her rescue after they heard her screaming for help.

The suspect has been arrested and is expected to appear in the Eenhana Magistrate’s Court this week.

Handuukeme was unconscious when he was taken to the Eenhana District Hospital, where he later died.

The suspect has been arrested and is expected to appear in the Ohangwena Magistrate's Court this week.
