A 42-year-old member of the Namibian Defence Force (NDF) was arrested after he reportedly raped a 14-year-old girl.
According to the Namibian Police crime bulletin, the incident happened on Friday, 13 November, in the capital’s Havana informal settlement at around 19:00.
The suspect allegedly lured the teenage girl into his room by promising her bread.
Once the girl entered his room, the suspect allegedly fondled her, pushed her onto his bed and proceeded to rape her.
He further threatened the victim and told her not to tell anyone about the rape incident.
The girl, however, told her father who in turn called the police.
The suspect was arrested and investigations continue.
