A Swakopmund man (48) has been arrested for allegedly repeatedly raping his five-year-old daughter throughout the year, the latest crime report indicates.
In another case, a 15-year-old girl was shot twice with a firearm that two teenage boys were playing with. According to the police the incident happened on Thursday in the Usakos District.
The two boys, aged 15 and 13, were playing with a firearm that had been left on top of a wardrobe by their uncle. The girl was shot in the abdomen and arm.
She was rushed to the Usakos State Hospital, from where she was transferred to Windhoek. Both boys were released into the care of their parents.
In another incident, two brothers were attacked by two suspects at Amagus Bar at Mondesa on Thursday. One of the brothers (28) was stabbed in the neck and died. Two suspects, both 24 years old, were arrested.
Tragedy
A six-year-old boy drowned at a children's entertainment venue in Windhoek on Saturday.
According to Sean Naude of the Namibian Marshall Rangers, a man arrived at Party Play World in Avis at about 11:45 with the boy, who is believed to be the son of family friends.
“They played together in the water before going to the braai area. The man was talking to friends there and was busy on his phone and then realised that the boy was not with him and started looking for him,” Naude said.
This was around 13:30, he said.
“At that moment, a teenager went down the waterslide and when he stood up, he noticed something at his feet and started screaming.”
Naude said the owners of the venue and other people immediately rushed over to the pool and tried to resuscitate the boy.
They then contacted Naude and he rushed to the scene and took over CPR, but it was in vain.
Attack
Meanwhile, at Ongwediva, a 22-year-old security guard was attacked by four men armed with shotguns on Friday at the Element Bar.
It is alleged that the men jumped into the yard of the bar, held the guard at gunpoint and hit him on the head, causing severe injuries.
Three of the suspects broke into the bar while one remained with the guard.
They stole liquor, a laptop, a backpack and N$300. The total value of the property stolen is N$13 000. They allegedly also took the security guard's mobile phone. The suspects are not known and the items were not recovered.
At Opuwo, alcohol and cash to the value of N$30 481 were stolen on Saturday at the Otuzember Manchester Bar. The suspect allegedly gained entrance through the roof and has not been arrested.
