A CASE of murder is being investigated after a 30-year-old man died of a head injury.
The deceased was allegedly attacked by another man at the Omahenene Cuca Shops in the Iihambo Iinene village near Omuthiya, Oshikoto Region.
According to the regional Police Commander, Commissioner Theopoline Kalompo-Nashikaku, the deceased was gambling in a bar when the suspect approached and pressed the machine causing it to pay out the money.
This resulted in an intense argument between the two.
Kalompo-Nashikaku said that the suspect dragged the deceased out of the bar, picked up a steel tube from his car and beat the deceased once in the forehead.
The victim was taken to the Omuthiya district hospital and was thereafter transferred and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at Oshakati intermediate hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
