A MANHUNT has been launched for a wanted rapist who allegedly sexually assaulted a ten-year-old girl at Onkumbula in the Oshikoto Region.
The incident, according to Oshikoto Regional Commander Commissioner Teopolina Kalompo-Nashikaku, occurred on Thursday around 15:00 in the Eengodi Constituency.
According to Kalompo-Nashikaku, the suspect found the victim in the presence of other children playing.
“It is alleged that the suspect then scared away the fellow kids, warning that he would beat them up if they did not go home. He then approached the victim, grabbed her left arm, and pulled her into the nearby bushes, undressed her, and raped her,” she said.
Kalompo-Nashikaku added that the suspect was caught red-handed in the act by the victim’s stepfather, and the suspect ran away.
The matter was reported to the police by the victim’s 46-year-old aunt.
Police investigations into the matter continue.
