Police in the Oshikoto region arrested a brother and sister for alleged incest at Tsumeb on Wednesday.
According to the Oshikoto police, the relationship came into the open following an argument between the suspects at their shared residence.
Namibian Police spokesperson Elifas Kuwinga said the fight was allegedly started by the brother who accused his sister of having a boyfriend.
The sister later went to the police station, claiming her brother had assaulted her. That is when it was revealed that the two were in a sexual relationship.
The brother (31) and sister (21) were expected to appear in the Tsumeb Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
