Three men have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery that took place last night at Nau-Aib, Okahandja, while two other suspects remain at large.
The men, aged between 28 and 30, stole 37 packs of Closwa Biltong and N$21,500 in cash.
A pre-trial detention study conducted by researchers from the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) has revealed that about 43% of cases did not require detention or the pursuit of charges.
The study found that the issuance of admission-of-guilt fines was sufficient for those charges.
The National Spokesperson of the Namibian Police, Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi, has informed the media that the official report by the police, in which five men were allegedly shot and killed by the Namibian Police Force and members of the Windhoek City Police, might be released today.
The suspect in a double murder case at Farm Josephine in the Dordabis district of the |Khomas Region has committed suicide.
The Namibian Police traced the suspect in the farm killings, identified as 30-year-old Michael Simaneka Martin, to the Oshikweyo Village of Eheke in the Oshana Region.
