THE Namibian Police in the Oshana Region are investigating a case of livestock theft after three cows — together valued at N$40,000 — were allegedly stolen from a kraal and slaughtered by unknown thieves in the Onakamwandi policing area of the Oshana Region.
The hides of the three cows and two dead calves were found at the site where the animals were slaughtered and their carcasses carried away to an unknown destination.
According to the police, the crime was discovered by a cattle herder who conducted a routine morning inspection of the surrounding area.
It is believed that two of the three stolen cows were pregnant and the dead calves were removed from their wombs.
No one has been arrested yet. The carcasses were not recovered.
