The Namibian Police are asking the public for help in identifying a female body stored in the Windhoek Police Mortuary or to contact them if they are aware of a missing person in their area.

According to the Head of NamPol's Public Relations Division, Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi, an unknown female was bumped by a car nearly two months ago on Sam Nujoma Drive near Otjomuise.

The unidentified woman is estimated to be between 17 and 25 years old.

Deputy Commissioner Shikwambi says no positive identification has been done to date.

Efforts to trace her through the fingerprint identification system of the Ministry of Home Affairs proved futile, as no data or record of hers could be found on the system.

The police are therefore requesting anyone who has lost a female member or anyone who can identify the clothes to come to the police mortuary in Windhoek for proper and possible identification.

They can contact Deputy Commissioner Josef Mpuka at 081 122 5805 or Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi at 081 247 6175 for further arrangements.
