Tallismanus: An 18-year-old girl was allegedly raped at Tallismanus in the Omaheke Region on Friday.

According to Namibia Press Agency, the girl had gone out with friends for the night.

She was approached by a person known to her who asked her to sleep with him, but she refused his advances. The police report said the girl decided to go home as it was getting late, and she was feeling uncomfortable as the suspect kept bothering her.

While on her way home, he approached her and asked where she was going. When she responded that she was going home, the suspect grabbed her and pulled her up to a certain house, where he allegedly forcefully removed her clothes and raped her. The suspect has not been arrested yet.

In a separate incident in Tallismanus, the police are investigating a case of reckless and/or negligent driving after the driver of a Nissan pick-up lost control of the vehicle and hit the Namibian border fence, causing the vehicle to overturn. All passengers sustained slight to serious injuries. Police investigations in both matters continue.
