No docket hinders Gawanab court appearance<\/p>\n

THE two dockets of a man who two months ago made headlines for mutilating and raping a ten-year-old girl were missing when he made his second appearance in court last week.<\/p>\n
Garvin Gawanab\u2019s other docket, still in a rape matter, emanating from April 2017, in which he is also accused of raping a minor, was also not before the court when the matter was scheduled for lab results. In that matter, Gawanab was granted N$1 500 bail.<\/p>\n
Roaming the streets freely, Gawanab in October mutilated his ten-year-old cousin\u2019s genitals before raping her. He then reportedly ran and hid into the mountains after the gruesome attack at farm Satan locht in the Khomas Region.<\/p>\n
It is alleged that the victim and another child were left in his care and he threatened to harm the children with a knife. The other child managed to escape.<\/p>\n
Residents found the minor assaulted and rushed her to the hospital. Four days later, Gawanab was found by police in a shack in Havana. His bail has since been cancelled.<\/p>\n
Gawanab faces a string of other sexual cases and has been on the wrong side of the law since he was 15-years-old. Now at 22, he also faces two attempted rape charges from 2013 and 2014. In the latter charge, witnesses failed to show up and the charge was subsequently withdrawn.<\/p>\n
Another charge of assault by threat, from 2016, was opened against him, but was later withdrawn due to a lack of incomplete forensic investigations. Court records indicate that he also faces other charges, ranging from assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm and housebreaking.<\/p>\n
Still appearing without a lawyer, Gawanab is expected to return to court on 18 January before Magistrate Loide Amwaandangi. Victoria Thompson is prosecuting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
