THE Namibian police in the Omusati Region are investigating cases of murder and concealment of birth following a gruesome discovery of pigs feeding on body parts of a baby at Oshikuku on Monday afternoon.
According to the police, community members were alerted by the noise of pigs fighting over food in an unserviced plot. They went to investigate and came upon the horrible scene. They found the pigs competing for the contents of a plastic shopping bag, which turned out to be the dismembered body of a baby.
Bones were scattered around, and blood-stained baby clothes were also found at the scene. The police collected the remains and transported them to the police mortuary at Okahao for postmortem examination.
Meanwhile, the police are urging members of the public to help identify and trace the still-unknown culprit.
