Man rapes, robs woman
News in short
Police in the Omusati Region are hot on the heels of a suspect who allegedly raped and robbed a 23-year-old woman in the Etayi constituency’s Odimbwa village.
The incident reportedly happened last Thursday at around 20:00 in an open area near Oshimengula location.
Police crime investigations coordinator, Deputy Commissioner Moses Simaho, said while she was on her way home, the woman was grabbed by the suspect and dragged towards the open area, where he raped her.
It is further alleged that the suspect threatened to kill the victim if she did not hand over her cellphone.
The suspect is not known to the victim, Simaho said.
“The suspect has yet to be arrested, but the station is following up on some leads as to who he might be. An arrest is eminent,” he added.
