B1 murder victim identified
A woman whose body was found on the B1 road next to the Van Eck Power Station in Windhoek on Tuesday morning has been identified as Iyaloo Ndapandula Hainghumbi (25).
According to Chief Inspector Kauna Shikwambi the woman's parents visited the police mortuary following media reports on the discovery of the body. “After they had read local newspapers and knowing that their daughter did not return home since she left on Monday with her friends, Mr and Mrs Hainghumbi visited the police mortuary for verification and possible identification purposes,” said Shikwambi. The police also took fingerprints to confirm the woman's identification.
“The suspect is still at large and the police investigation continues. Anyone with information is once again requested to come forward and report to the police,” she urged.
According to Inspector Christiana Simaho of Nampol's gender-based violence unit, it appears that Hainghumbi died of head injuries.
“It may be possible that her skull was broken but we are not sure yet. At this point we cannot tell whether she may have been raped because she was wearing her clothes and it was intact,” she said.
