In a separate incident in Outapi at the Okalonda location area near the water canal it is alleged that a 38-year-old man raped a woman on Friday while she was on her way home from the cuca shops. He apparently emerged from the darkness, grabbed and threatened her with an okapi knife and then raped her.
In another incident on Saturday a 16-year-old girl was raped when she was coming from the Green Bar with one of her friends. On her way home in Lukas Stefanus section, a 32-year-male allegedly threatened the girl with an okapi knife and dragged her to his house where he raped her.

A security guard this weekend murdered his uncle after he proposed to his cousin, and then he killed himself. According to the police the incident took place at a residence in Nangula-Franc Street, Babylon. The 33-year-old Sakaria Kuhangwa on Friday night apparently shot and killed his uncle before shooting himself after he had gone to his cousin's room and proposed to her. However, his 52-year-old uncle confronted him.
The police say Kuhangwa was enraged and went outside and fired a shot with his service shotgun. He entered the house again and when his uncle confronted him again, he shot him in the chest and thereafter, shot himself in the head.
Baby dumped
In a separate incident the body of baby girl was retrieved from a public toilet in Okatope on Saturday after her mother terminated the pregnancy at eight months.
According to the police, an 11-year-old girl discovered some soaked bloody bed sheets and told her grandmother about it. The grandmother in turn questioned a grade 10 learner, 21, and she admitted that she had terminated her pregnancy.
The woman allegedly gave birth last week Wednesday at Onambugulu village at Onyaanya while her family was sleeping. She then wrapped the body in a plastic bag and threw it in a public toilet where it was retrieved. At the coast, a 21-year-old woman abandoned her baby boy at the Swakopmund State Hospital, after giving birth and disappearing without a trace.
According to Deputy Commissioner Erastus Ikuyu, the woman, who identified herself as Evelina Gass, had supplied the hospital with incorrect contact details.
“The baby is in good health and is in the care of social workers. If anyone has information about this woman, they can contact Detective Chief Inspector Selma Shangula at 081 667 6820 or the nearest police station. In another incident police is investigating a case in Rundu in which a one-year-old toddler's body was discovered on Saturday in a hole dug behind a shack.
