A MALE domestic worker aged 25 was arrested for allegedly raping a minor boy at the Omutsegonime village in the Oshikoto Region Friday afternoon.
The victim is an eight-year-old boy.
Oshikoto community affairs officer Inspector Ellen Nehale said that the suspect, who is a neighbour to the victim, was together with the victim in the bush looking after goats when the alleged crime was committed.
It is alleged that the two were sitting under a tree when the suspect suddenly grabbed the victim, undressed him and raped him.
The suspect is under arrest and will appear before the Tsumeb Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
