No progress in Aminuis murder case

NO one has yet been arrested in connection with the death of a young man who was shot during a tribal clash at Aminuis in the Omaheke Region in November last year.

“We are still investigating the case,” Chief Inspector Pax Mwanawina of the Omaheke Police told The Namibian yesterday. He said the investigation was taking so long because there was no concrete evidence.”There are a lot of rumours and we are still verifying this,” he said.Theboy Hiiho was shot and killed at Onderombapa in the Aminuis constituency after two rival traditional authorities clashed over the swearing-in of a senior counsellor of the Maharero Traditional Authority.The Aminuis Traditional Authority of Immanuel Kavari was opposed to the inauguration of Ewald Kazongominja of the Maharero Traditional Authority and wanted the event to be cancelled.The Maharero Traditional Authority is a recognised traditional authority while that of Kavari is not.When Chief Alfons Maherero went ahead with the inauguration, violence broke out between the two groups and Hiiho was struck by a bullet.He said the investigation was taking so long because there was no concrete evidence.”There are a lot of rumours and we are still verifying this,” he said.Theboy Hiiho was shot and killed at Onderombapa in the Aminuis constituency after two rival traditional authorities clashed over the swearing-in of a senior counsellor of the Maharero Traditional Authority.The Aminuis Traditional Authority of Immanuel Kavari was opposed to the inauguration of Ewald Kazongominja of the Maharero Traditional Authority and wanted the event to be cancelled.The Maharero Traditional Authority is a recognised traditional authority while that of Kavari is not.When Chief Alfons Maherero went ahead with the inauguration, violence broke out between the two groups and Hiiho was struck by a bullet.
