A Suiderlig High School pupil (18) is expected to appear in the Keetmanshoop Magistrate’s Court after he allegedly raped three minor girls at the southern town last week.
Police crime investigations coordinator for the //Kharas region deputy commissioner Nicodemus Mbango on Sunday said the suspect allegedly had sexual intercourse with three girls aged between 10 and 12.
The rapes allegedly happened on Thursday at the victims’ household at the Krönlein residential area. The suspect is a friend of a relative to the victims.
It is alleged that the suspect called the girls to watch football in the house while their relative was outside playing football.
“They all went to watch television in the house. The suspect called the minors into the main bedroom one by one, where he threatened them with an okapi knife if they didn’t follow his instructions to get undressed and have sexual intercourse with him,” said Mbango.
He added that one of the girls told her cousin what happened on Friday. The girls were examined and evidence of sexual assault was found.
Police investigations continue and the suspect has been charged.
