Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - Web posted at 12:21:36 GMT Couple killed on road 'were having sex' CHRISPIN INAMBAOA COUPLE who were killed when they were run over by two vehicles on a road near Brakwater on Sunday were allegedly having sex at the time. |

The man and woman, as yet unidentified, were lying in the road when they were first hit by an all-terrain vehicle driven by Liz Komen and shortly afterwards by a bakkie driven by lawyer Cobus Potgieter. The accident took place at around 00h30 along the old tarred road linking Windhoek and Brakwater. Komen, who was still in shock over the incident, did not want to speak about the tragedy which she described as "terrible". But Potgieter charged it was "a typical example of people indulging in alcohol. No persons in their sober minds will lie having sex in the middle of the road." The lawyer said a detective constable investigating the incident had said the couple were having sex in the road. Police spokesman Sergeant James Matengu said he was not aware of reports that the deceased were engaged in sexual intercourse when the accident occurred. He said, however, that there had been several incidents in which people sleeping on roads had been run over and killed. Matengu cited an incident last year in which four people died after they were run over while sleeping on a road between Otavi and Kombat. He added that a sleeping NDF soldier lost his life after he was run over by a vehicle in the Kongola area last year. |
