The National Assembly has suspended its business for the day in light of the death of Swapo Party MP James Uerikua.

Uerikua died in a car accident last Friday.

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah is at the family residence of the late James Unomasa Uerikua in Herero Location, Katutura, where she is paying respects and offering condolences to the grieving family.

Members of Parliament paid tribute to the late Swapo MP James Uerikua during a candlelight ceremony and prayer session in the Parliament courtyard this afternoon.

The event honoured Uerikua, who died last week in a fatal car accident that also claimed the life of his 14-year-old son, Venturo. 

A case of a woman accused of raping another is among the rape incidents reported during the Easter weekend.

The police crime report documented six cases of rape and sexual assault, highlighting the persistent threat of sexual violence.

The man accused of killing a five-year-old boy over the Easter long weekend, Erick !Kharugub (34), has allegedly confessed to investigating officers, detailing in gruesome detail how he killed his minor victim.
