Eleven trail-awaiting prisoners carried out a daring midnight jailbreak at the Katima Mulilo Police station.

Three of the escapees have been re-arrested so far, while the police in the Zambezi Region have launched a manhunt for the rest.

Two male suspects accused of stealing N$50,000 from a tourist at Camp Kwando over the weekend were denied bail in the Katima Mulilo Margistrate's court on Thursday.

The two are 31-year-old Mario Wawo and 25-year-old Masiye Muyunza, who are from the Lizauli area.
