A Namibian man (27) is expected to make his first appearance in the Katima Mulilo District Court on Monday over the attempted rape of a girl (12).
Zambezi regional police spokesperson and head of community policing inspector Kisco Sitali says the alleged incident took place on Friday afternoon at Ibeza village in the Ngoma area.
“It is alleged that the suspect attempted to rape her,” he says.
In a separate incident, another man (28) is expected to make his first court appearance in the same court in connection with a case of assault with grievous bodily harm and house breaking, which was registered against him on Saturday afternoon.
“It is alleged that the suspect broke into the complainant’s house in the Dairy Compound, using unknown objects, but upon exiting the house, the complainant, who was awoken, jumped on him but got stabbed in the head with an unknown object,” Sitali says.
The police also reported the arrest of a man (31) for the alleged theft of a cellphone at Old Musika close to Redigo Bar at Katima Mulilo.
The suspect is expected to appear in the Katima Mulilo District Court this week.
Sitali says the suspect allegedly grabbed a Samsung Galaxy A03 with its earphones valued at N$3 200. The phone and earphones have not been recovered yet.
Police investigations are ongoing in all the incidents.
