Otjozondjupa police commander Phillip Haiidengwa on Monday confirmed to Desert FM that the police have taken in three ssuspects involved in the recent killings of three young girls at Okahandja for questioning.
According to Haidengwa, the cases of the two school kids are almost similar because of the nature of the crime.
“It’s still too premature. We don’t really want to go too much into details to give people false hopes. However, as I’ve said, we are really trying,” Haidengwa said.
Haidengwa added that for now, members of the public have pledged their commitment to assisting the police in finding the perpetrators.
He stated that there is a N$50 000 reward that will be given to any person who comes forward with information.
Haidengwa went on to say that the police are trying to make sure they get to the bottom of the case.
The police have sanctioned five foreign detectives who are busy doing the investigations pertaining to the three specific cases.
In addition to the five detectives, the police have deployed extra members from the Special Reserve Force.
Haidengwa said they are patrolling to make sure nothing of that nature happens again.
According to the commander, they have appealed to those trading alcohol to limit business hours to ensure people return to their houses as soon as they can.
