In another incident, a nine-year-old boy died after he and a boy of the same age became embroiled in a fist fight after school at Eenghango village in the Ohangwena Region. According to the police, the fight occurred on 26 July when Tangeni-Omweni Haufiku was assaulted by the other boy.
It is alleged that the deceased was severely assaulted, which resulted in heavy bleeding from his nose.
