Human remains discovered
THE Namibian Police in the Omusati Region is appealing to the communities in the areas surrounding the villages of Otoongo and Okeeholongo in the Okahao Constituency to assist in identifying human remains discovered in the bushes on Sunday.
Omusati Regional Commander, Commissioner Titus Shikongo said the discovery was made by Joseph Ashipala, a resident of Okeeholongo, who was walking through the forest in search of his cattle.
According to Shikongo, the farmer allegedly stumbled upon human bones and informed another community member from the Okeeholongo Village who then informed the Police on Wednesday about the discovery.
Shikongo stated that during a preliminary investigation, a human skull and bones were found scattered around under a mopane tree while a black plastic belt was also discovered tied to one of the branches. Some fatty stains were also observed on the tree trunk.
