Alleged Chinese briber gets N$15 000 bail
The Tsumeb Magistrate's Court yesterday granted Mo Yongmeng (36) bail of N$15 000 after he was arrested for attempting to bribe an official at the Oshivelo checkpoint on Monday with N$200.
Yongmeng was arrested around 09:00 on that morning when he and Hu Julin (42), who were travelling from Windhoek, were stopped at the Oshivelo checkpoint and the official demanded to see their passports.
However, Julin did not have his passport and Yongmeng then allegedly placed N$200 in the palm of the official who had asked for their documents, in order for them to be allowed to continue with their journey. The duo was consequently arrested and detained.
Julin has been given 14 days to produce his passport or otherwise a case against him will be opened.
Kitchen knife stabbing
The Oshikoto police on Monday arrested a 20-year-old student who stabbed a schoolmate with a kitchen knife on their way home from school.
The incident took place at Okambugha village around 15:40 and the deceased has been identified as 19-year-old Mhanda Fredrick.
According to the police, the two were on their way home from school when the suspect took out the knife and stabbed Fredrick once in the chest without any provocation.
The victim was transported to the Omuthiya State Hospital and later transferred to the Onandjokwe Intermediate Hospital but he succumbed to his injuries and died while en route.
In an unrelated incident, the lifeless body of 49-year-old Christopher Kamati was found hanging from a tree at Farm Vryheid South of Oshivelo Tuesday morning.
It is alleged that the victim who was a suspect in a stock theft case had travelled to Oshakati on Monday. It is alleged that he set the home of a witness in his case on fire. A co-worker on the farm escaped unharmed. His body was transported to the Tsumeb police mortuary for a post mortem.
