AN unidentified woman was stabbed to death on Thursday at about 8:30 in Katutura, where her wounded body was left in a bush behind the Hosianna Parish Church.
The Namibian police said the body was discovered with several stab wounds in her chest and blood stains trailed from the church where her body was found to a spot near Angermund Transport’s premises.
A witness claims that he saw the woman walking in front of him and noticed that she was being followed by four men. He told the police that he believes that the four men attacked and murdered the woman.
The witness also told the police that he was robbed and tied to a tree in the same vicinity where the woman’s body was found.
The robbers allegedly stole his cell phone and N$1 500. He said that he believes that it was the doing of the same culprits that murdered the woman.
According to the police, the witness is still in shock and could thus not be thoroughly interrogated.
He will therefore be interrogated at a later stage as investigations continue.
The police also said that the deceased’s next of kin have not been informed yet as no identification was found on her body.
