Unidentified bodies found in the north
Police in the Ohangwena and Oshikoto regions have asked for help in identifying two unidentified bodies.
The badly decomposed body of a man was found in the veld near the Tsumeb Cultural Village at Tsumeb in the Oshikoto Region on Sunday.
Warrant Officer Ellen Nehale said the body was found by people collecting firewood.
“The body was dressed in a red T-shirt and a blue cap, but no trousers, underpants or shoes,” Nehale said. Nehale said a post-mortem examination would be done to determine the cause of death. She said the body could have been there for two to three weeks.
“What is also challenging is that we do not have a report of a missing person in the area of Tsumeb or in the region. We are now inviting members of the public to help us in identifying this body. Anyone missing a family member, relative or friend may come forth to the Tsumeb police mortuary.” Anyone with information can contact Inspector Endjala at 081 255 9815. On 22 February a man aged estimated to be between 25 and 35 years old died at Ongha in the Ohangwena Region when he was hit by a minibus. The regional police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Abner Kaume Itumba, requested anyone who can help identify the man to contact the Ongha police station.
