A 12-year-old girl was attacked and killed by a crocodile in the Kavango River.

Acting Kavango East Regional Police Commander Commissioner Aino Nambahu says the little girl went to fetch water with others at the river.

The deceased was identified as Eleotheria Mashe Ngoma, a resident of Shikoro Village in the Ndiyona Constituency.
 
He says the body was retrieved from the crocodile, by a brave resident who was close to the scene.

The community and family members of the late Ndondji Joseph Kautjingu, who was shot dead under mysterious circumstances on March 3 in Rundu, held a demonstration on Friday, demanding answers for the fact that no one has yet been arrested in connection with the case.

The community believes Kautjingu was killed by police, who apparently earlier on the night found him in possession of a pangolin's skin.

It is alleged that the late Kautingu was picked up by a police car while selling meat at Sauyema Settlement.
