The Namibian Police Force (NamPol) acting Otjozondjupa Regional Crime Investigations Coordinator, Chief Inspector Fillemon Haikali on Monday said the deceased was identified by relatives on Friday as Matheus Alweendo. “His lifeless body was found hanging from the roof of his sleeping room and an electrical wire cable was found intact around his neck when the police arrived at the scene,” said Haikali.
