They fingered three residents, accusing them of possessing deadly poison responsible for the death of several people, including Embula.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The mob, whose brutal actions were caught on video, assaulted the victims demanding that they hand over the deadly poison. A shebeen was dismantled and items found inside were gathered in a pile and set on fire.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Ondukuta case was practically forgotten, but memories came flooding back when another case of mob justice was reported early this week, this time in the Oshana Region where a suspected burglar, Shuuveni Justus Elago (36), was attacked and beaten to death by angry residents of the Othingo village on the outskirts of Oshakati.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The deceased and two others were allegedly caught in the act of stealing after they broke into a house sometime between 21:00 and 22:00 Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two of the suspects fled the scene in a getaway vehicle that was parked nearby.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":301636,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-301635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
