The Namibian Police Force (NamPol) has arrested a 34 year old suspect who raped his boy child in Okongo in the Ohangwena.

The suspect was arrested at Onandjushwi village in Hangwena region.

A weekend crime report issued on Monday by NamPol said the suspect allegedly raped his biological minor boy on several occasions between March and Apri 2022.

In March 2022 at Epangwe village the suspect was left alone with the toddler (age unknown) while the mother went to Okongo and had sexual intercourse with the victim.

The report said upon returning the same day, the mother noticed that the toddler was not sitting and walking properly and upon checking, it was discovered that the victim had bruises around the anus, however since the victim cannot speak yet, the mother did not suspect anything.

However, the report indicated that on 12 April 2022, while the mother, victim and suspect were sleeping on the same bed, the victim (baby) started crying, noting that when the mother woke up she found the suspect allegedly busy having anal sex with the victim.

The suspect is scheduled to appear in the Eenhana court on Tuesday.
