Violent mayhem against women and kids
Police are investigating a brutal murder of a young mother and the multiple rapes reported over the past week.
The body of 28-year-old Charmaine Saron, who died after she was stabbed 24 times, was discovered behind the Hosianah Church in Katutura last week Thursday. The mother of four was last seen alive late on Wednesday night. According to the police, a post-mortem found she was stabbed 24 times. No suspects have been linked to the crime to date, and the police continue to investigate.
Saron's sister identified the body. She said Saron came to Windhoek from Rehoboth only three weeks ago to attend a nursing class. The deceased leaves behind four children between the ages of two and 12.
Minor arrested for rape
Sunday’s police report reported a series of rape cases have been opened, including one that occurred in Rehoboth on Friday between 16:00 and 17:00 in an open field next to Block H.
It is alleged that a 15-year-old teenager was arrested after inviting two young children to play with him in the field. The accused then allegedly molested one of them, a six-year-old boy, in the nearby bushes.
Another case of rape was reported in Oshikango on Thursday, in the Oshipwatapwata location. It is alleged that a 41-year-old Namibian was arrested after he raped a teenage girl (14). The police say he allegedly lured her to his room, where he raped her, with N$300.
Police investigations continue.
The police are also investigating an alleged rape of a woman (33), who accused a 28-year-old Namibian male of the crime, which reportedly took place in Sesfontein on Saturday.
It is alleged the suspect demanded sex from the victim and a fight broke out between the two. The suspect then raped her, after beating and strangling her.
