A MURDER case is under investigation by the police in the Oshikoto Region after a 13-year-old boy was assaulted and succumbed to injuries inflicted by a 25-year-old man in Onanguwo village, Eengodi constituency.
The deceased was identified as Johannes Shimbudu Kaakumwa.
NamPol Inspector Raimbert Muronga said the incident occurred on Wednesday when the deceased and a cousin were walking home from school. The suspect caught up with them, initiating a confrontation about the deceased’s jersey.
“The confrontation did not stop until the suspect attacked the deceased with a dry stick, assaulting him multiple times all over the head. This caused the deceased to sustain serious head and face injuries over a jersey,” he said.
The deceased was taken to Onamishu State Clinic and later transferred to Omuthiya State Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries on Thursday.
The suspect has been arrested and is expected to appear before the Ondangwa Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
