A 28-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed to death by her boyfriend at Rosh Pinah in the ||Kharas Region on Friday.

The Police Crime Investigations Coordinator for the region, Deputy Commissioner Nicodemus Mbango, on Sunday said the incident happened in the evening at Tutungeni Residential Area.

The deceased was identified as Sarah Muzorongondo.

It is alleged that the suspect went to the deceased's room to collect his belongings after she had told him to do so.

The police reported that Muzorongondo and the suspect were not heard arguing, but neighbours only heard the deceased screaming for help whilst in her room.

The neighbours went outside and discovered that the door to the room was locked from the inside.

The victim told the neighbours outside that the suspect was busy slitting her throat.

The neighbours tried to kick open the door, but it did not open, and suddenly it got quiet inside the room.

Deputy Commissioner Mbango added that when the brother of the suspect arrived at the scene, he took a stone and started hitting the door until it swung open.

When the brother stormed inside the room, he found the deceased lying on the floor in a pool of blood with the suspect lying next to her.

The brother saw that the suspect was still breathing while the deceased remained unresponsive.

The police and ambulance arrived at the scene, and the deceased was declared dead at the scene,

The suspect is receiving medical care at the Keetmanshoop State Hospital, as he has wounds on his neck and chest, which the police believe to be self-inflicted.

Muzorongondo and the suspect have been in a romantic relationship since 2018, and they started cohabiting at the deceased's place in 2020 until Thursday, when the suspect was told to leave.
