Rundu: A 24-year-old woman was reportedly raped in the Queenspark residential area of Rundu after an unknown man broke into her house on Tuesday. The Namibian Police Force’s crime investigations coordinator in the region, Deputy Commissioner Bonifatius Kanyetu, confirmed the incident, stating that it occurred between 04h00 and 05h00.
According to Namibia Press Agency, it is alleged that the 34-year-old suspect used a brick to break the house’s door to gain entry. Once inside, he took a television set and placed it against the wall before proceeding to the woman’s room. There, the suspect reportedly strangled the victim, warned her not to scream, forcibly undressed her, and had sexual intercourse with her without her consent.
The suspect has been arrested and is scheduled to appear in the Rundu Magistrate’s Court on Thursday. Recovered from the scene were the TV set, a remote control, one cell phone, and a charger. Police investigations into the matter continue.
