The clothing in which the skeletal remains were found indicates that it might have been an adult woman and teenage boy that were buried in the shallow grave,\u201d Inspector Mbehea said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rain-reveals-possible-murder-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Rain skeletal remains shallow grave floods\" class=\"wp-image-288174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rain-reveals-possible-murder-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rain-reveals-possible-murder-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rain-reveals-possible-murder-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Rain-reveals-possible-murder.jpg 1040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> Pictured: A dress and other clothing found with the skeletal remains of two people near the Okahitua Village in the Okakarara Constituency. \u2013 Photo: Courtesy of the Namibian Police in the Otjozondjupa Region <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"js_9\" class=\"_5pbx userContent _3576\" data-testid=\"post_message\" data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}\">\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She said that at this stage the clothing found with the skeletal remains might hold some clues to the eventual identification of the two deceased persons. A cheap torch, which is light green in colour, that was also found on the scene by members of the police might hold other clues as to the mysterious death of the two people. Inspector Mbeha said that when investigating officers pressed the operating switch, the torch was still able to shine.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She said that no persons were reported missing from the Okahitua Village or other villages in the area of Okakarara.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this stage no foul play is expected and the Namibian Police is calling on members of the public especially residents of Okahitua to help identify the clothes found with the deceased persons.
