Minor raped at Khowarib

WINDHOEK, 10 OCT – A 17-year-old boy who allegedly raped a nine-year-old boy in the Sesfontein Constituency appeared in the Opuwo Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
Magistrate Eliud Nakulonda postponed the case to 21 February 2019 for further investigation, as well as to allow the accused to apply for legal aid.
“The accused was released into the care of a guardian,” State Prosecutor Obert Masendeke told Nampa Tuesday.
According to a police report, the incident occurred around 07h00 on Saturday at the Khowarib Quarantine Camp.
It is alleged that the older boy grabbed his victim and carried him into a house, where he allegedly had sexual intercourse with him.
The names of the boys cannot be released as they are both minors.
