The Namibian Police (NamPol) in the Oshikoto Region are investigating a case in which a 32-year-old man died at the scene after allegedly being stabbed with a knife by his girlfriend (23).

The incident occurred on Thursday at around 22:30 at the Tsintsabis settlement.

According to the long weekend crime report issued by NamPol Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi, it is alleged that an argument erupted between the deceased and the suspect, leading to a physical fight.

“The suspect, who is the girlfriend of the deceased, took out a knife and stabbed the victim in the chest. He died on the spot,” she said.

The suspect has been arrested and is in police custody and is expected to appear before the Tsumeb Magistrate’s Court on Monday.

Police investigations into the matter continue.

In an unrelated incident, a 45-year-old Namibian man was arrested on Wednesday at around 09h00 in the Soweto location in Tsumeb following a tip-off about his alleged involvement in dealing with illicit narcotics.

The suspect is in police custody and is expected to appear before the Tsumeb Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
