Suspect wanted for mutilation, rape
Police are searching for a 20-year-old man who is on the run after he cut an 8-year-old girl’s genitals with a knife and raped her.
According to the police the “heinous crime” occurred on Friday at about 16:00 at the Farm Satan Locht in the Khomas Region.
It is alleged that the girl and another child were left in the care of Gervin Gowanab who threatened to harm the children and the other child ran away.
Gowanab apparently got hold of a knife and tried to rape the girl, but penetration could not take place and he then cut her genitals and raped her.
According to the police, Gowanab has since fled into the mountains and a search was pursued, but yielded no results. The girl has been admitted to the Windhoek Central Hospital and her condition is critical. The police are asking for the assistance of the public to trace Gowanab.
