Housekeeper rapes toddler
A three-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her family’s domestic worker on Saturday at Onambago village in the Onyaanya area of the Oshikoto Region.
It is alleged that the suspect, Raphael Kamati Kamati (30), was found raping the victim while was she was sleeping in a bedroom. A close relative caught him in the act.
He was arrested on Sunday, 19 June, and appeared in the Ondangwa Magistrate’s Court yesterday. Magistrate Alice Gawanas denied Kamati bail, saying it is against public interest and the administration of justice.
She said due to the seriousness of the offence he allegedly committed as well as fear of absconding and interfering with police investigations, Kamati should be remanded in custody.
The case has been postponed to 6 September for further investigations and for the suspect’s legal aid application.
