Three people were killed in two car crashes in the Oshikoto Region over the past three days.

The latest incident took place 30km from Tsumeb on the Tsintsabis-Tsumeb road yesterday morning when the driver of a VW Golf lost control of the vehicle and it overturned.

According to Deputy Commissioner Naomi Katjiua of the Oshikoto police two of the five occupants were killed instantly.

The deceased were identified as Mervin Naseb (30) and Linda Jones (27).

The three surviving occupants, Michael Khairabeb (25), who was the driver, Herman Eiseb (27) and Ronny Somseb (30), sustained slight injuries and were transported to the Tsumeb State Hospital.

Police are investigating a case of culpable homicide. On Saturday at around 19:00 a Toyota bakkie overturned at Onayena on the Epumbu-Oshali gravel road after a tyre burst. One of the six occupants, Timoteus Pinehas (78) died instantly while the driver, George Mbokoma (36) sustained head injuries and was admitted to the Onandjokwe Intermediate Hospital.

The four other occupants - Alina Sheepo, Amwaalwa Shanyegana, Mika Pinehas and Utoni Erastus - were treated for shock, returning home the same day. Katjiua said they were all from Omashaka village.
