Oshakati: A 57-year-old man allegedly committed suicide at Oshakati Monday night, the Namibian Police Force (NamPol) has reported. NamPol’s Crime Investigations Coordinator for Oshana, Deputy Commissioner Frederick Ndjadila, informed that Ricardo Ndume allegedly hanged himself in his bedroom in the Evululuko area.
According to Namibia Press Agency, Ndjadila stated that Ndume reportedly came home and informed his wife that he was hearing voices, advising her to close the windows.
