Rape fugitive bust with stolen meat
In the weekend crime report from the police, Erongo's crime investigations coordinator Deputy Commissioner Erastus Iikuyu said a 43-year-old man was arrested on Thursday for possession of a beef carcass and a rifle without legal documents for either.
“He is a fugitive from an Usakos rape case. As such he will be taken to Usakos to be charged and to appear in court,” said Iikuyu.
The suspect was also due to appear in Swakopmund in connection with possession of the carcass worth N$8 000 and rifle which were found in the boot of a sedan he was in with two other men. Iikuyu said the other two men, who are known suspects, jumped out of the vehicle and ran away when the police stopped the vehicle.
“The animal is suspected to have been stolen in the area of Uis, Tubusis and Okombahe. The owner of the firearm found with the suspect is known, he will be charged for irresponsible handling of the gun,” reads the police report.
In Swakopmund, a 28-year-old man was arrested by the police on Friday for growing marijuana at his residence in the DRC informal settlement. He is charged with dealing in, and the cultivation of, cannabis plants. Iikuyu said the man was found in possession of 24 cannabis plants, seven big and four small batches of cannabis and one packet of cannabis seeds. Iikuyu said the street value of the drug and seeds is yet to be determined. He was due to appear in the Swakopmund Magistrate's Court yesterday. Also in the DRC informal settlement on Saturday, a 37-year-old man bled to death after he allegedly used his fist to break the windows of his house, following an argument with his partner. The incident took place early in the morning between 06:00 and 06:30.
Iikuyu said Joel Somseb allegedly argued with his girlfriend over Tassenberg wine he bought and refused to share with her.
“He got angry, slapped the lady twice in the face and decided to move out of the house he shared with her, but before leaving, he started smashing windows with a clenched fist,” said Iikuyu.
The deceased was allegedly cut by the broken glass under the right arm. The police said he continued bleeding and smashing the windows until he fell to the ground and died on the spot. No foul play is suspected and his next of kin have been informed.
The police will continue to investigate the case.
