VIOLENCE against women is seemingly spiralling out of control with two women found brutally murdered within half an hour of each other on Thursday.
The 44-year-old Ester Nashiningwe Haimbondi is suspected to have been murdered by her 48-year-old boyfriend and father of her seven-year-old child.
A case of murder read with domestic violence is investigated by the Oshikoto police after she was found dead at Okambonde village in the Oniipa area.
According to police commander Commissioner Armas Shivute, the body was found on Thursday around 09:00.
Shivute stated that the deceased was allegedly discovered dead, naked and bleeding from the mouth with a wound on the left knee near the suspect’s sleeping room.
“It is further alleged the deceased came to her boyfriend’s house as usual and they were the only two in the house at the time of the incident,” he said.
The suspect has been arrested.
In the other incident, an unidentified woman was found 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 at a spot near Angermund Transport’s premises.
No arrests have been made yet.
