Two men from Onheleiwa Village who illegally crossed the border into Angola on New Year’s Eve got into a confrontation which led to one’s death. It is reported that the relatives went to drink at shebeens at Epumbulile Village in Angola. It is believed that, after the suspect got drunk, he started behaving rudely towards the deceased prompting the deceased to slap the suspect, a move which angered him. The suspect ran back home into Namibia and took a traditional knife (omukonda) and crossed back into Angola where a physical fight allegedly erupted between the two. This resulted in the suspect stabbing the deceased once on the right side of the chest and led to the deceased's death on the spot. The deceased has been identified as 25-year-old Jeremiah Wedeinge. The 23-year-old suspect thereafter fled the scene back into Namibia and is in the care of his relatives. No arrest could be made as the crime was committed inside Angola and pending formal requests by the Angolan authorities and finalisation of extradition protocols. Angolan police officers from Namakunde who attended to the crime scene subsequently handed the deceased’s remains to his relatives in Namibia. The body was repatriated after relevant arrangements were done with Namibian authorities via Wakasamane border post. The matter is being investigated by Angolan Police as the crime was committed in that country. The deceased’s next of kin have been informed.
