JEREMIA Uusiku, a 49-year-old resident of Onashiku village in the Elim Constituency of Omusati, who was reported missing recently, has died. His lifeless body was found floating in a water pan on Tuesday afternoon.
The police said that on Monday evening, Uusiku informed members of his extended family — who are his neighbours — that he was having insurmountable problems, without giving further details.
It is alleged that, later in the evening, Uusiku left his wife at home and went to the cucashops.
“On the way back [from the cucashops],” said the police, “he phoned his wife saying that he got lost and could not find his way home. His cellphone went off thereafter.”
Uusiku was reported missing on Tuesday, and a search was launched. His body was discovered floating in a water pan.
