A SWIFT police operation has led to the arrest of a 36-year-old man in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 44-year-old woman in Okasheshete Village in the early hours of Monday.
Omusati regional commander, Commissioner Ismael Basson, said the incident occurred around 04:30.
“The suspect allegedly stabbed the victim to death with an unknown object,” he said.
He added that the deceased was identified as the suspect’s girlfriend.
Initial reports indicated the suspect had fled the scene, prompting a manhunt. However, Basson said they have now apprehended the suspect, who was found at his home in the same village.
He said that a case of murder read with the provisions of the Domestic Violence Act has been registered.
