It is alleged that the son came home on that fateful night and asked for a cellphone charger, after which an argument erupted between him and his mother. 

He then allegedly attacked both parents.

His father, it is alleged, shot at him four times, hitting the 29-year-old twice while also hitting a 25-year-old neighbor, who was at the scene, on the leg.

nbc Digital News published a story yesterday about a 60-year-old retired soldier accused of raping his 14-year-old biological daughter and her 13-year-old friend, and who was denied bail at Ondangwa Magistrate's Court.

In the story, we decided not to reveal the identity of the accused person in order to protect the identities of the two victims.

The media does not only have a legal obligation not to publish any information that might reveal the identity of a rape victim, but also a moral one.
