The Ondangwa police have opened a case of attempted murder and assault through threatening against an adult male after he reportedly attacked his girlfriend’s 30-year-old lover at the town’s Uupopo location on Sunday.
According to the Head of the Namibian Police Force’s Oshana Community Policing Sub-division, Chief Inspector Thomas Aiyambo, it is alleged that the victim received a text message from the woman inviting him over to her place in the area of Shinime Shimvula.
‘A few minutes later, while in the room, she told the victim that her boyfriend had arrived and instructed that he hide in the toilet as her boyfriend was dangerous,’ Aiyambo said.
However, minutes later, the victim reportedly decided to come out of hiding and when he fled the suspect allegedly chased him and fired shots in his direction.
He then stopped running and the suspect grabbed him and drove back to his girlfriend’s place. He then reportedly continued questioning him before driving to the Ondangwa dump site and leaving him there.
T
he suspect has not yet been arrested and police investigations continue.
