A 17-YEAR-OLD boy from the Kavango West Region may face a hefty prison sentence after he allegedly shot a man dead whilst playing with a firearm.<\/p>\n
Inspector Raimbert Muronga of the Namibian Police shared that the murder incident happened on Wednesday, 12 April, between 13:00 and 14:00 at Cause village on the late Hompa Daniel Sitentu’s farm, Kavango West Region.<\/p>\n
The victim was identified as an adult man simply known as Boto.<\/p>\n
Muronga reported that the suspect shot the deceased person with a shotgun on the right arm and it went through to the right ribs and got stuck there. The victim died 80 metres away from the scene of the crime.<\/p>\n
“It is further alleged that the suspect was playing with a gun, pointing it to other people and someone accidentally pushed the barrel away from his direction while the suspect’s finger was on the trigger. In the process, a shot went off and hit the deceased. The next of kin is informed. The police are conducting investigations in the matter,” Muronga said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
