According to a report by Nampa, the region's deputy Commissioner Naomi Katjiua said the suspect raped the victim on two separate occasions and is her neighbour.
“It is alleged that the suspect had sexual intercourse with the minor (girl) under coercive circumstances in his bedroom and in the hut at the victim's house,” Katjiua's statement read.

Neighbours are said to have heard the girl scream and rescued her. Members of the community helped the police to apprehend the man who was expected to appear in Keetmanshoop Magistrate's Court yesterday.
