THE Namibian Police in the Ohangwena Region are investigating a case of rape after a 33-year-old man allegedly raped his 27-year-old cousin in the Endola area on Saturday.
Ohangwena Region Crime Investigations Coordinator, Deputy Commissioner Melanie Mburuu, said that the incident occurred Saturday night at Onepandaulo village in Endola.
“It is alleged that the suspect entered the victim’s room while she was asleep, undressed her, and had sexual intercourse with her without her consent,” she said.

Mburuu said that the two reside in the same house.
