Two men and a woman were denied bail on Monday after they were found in possession of a suspected stolen ox.

The suspects, who appeared in the Rundu Magistrates Court on Wednesday, are charged with the possession of suspected stolen stock, the importation of animals into Namibia without a permit, forgery, and uttering.

The two men, 34-year-old Siwogedi Fellip Haingura and 23-year-old Lukas Kavimba Muyenga, are suspected of having stolen an ox from Angola and brought it into Namibia at night to sell.
