RUNDU – The Namibian Police in Rundu have called for public assistance in locating a masked man suspected of raping eight women in separate, but possibly linked, attacks across the town’s residential areas.

Deputy Commissioner Bonifatius Kanyetu told Nampa on Monday the latest incident occurred in Kehemu around 16h00 on Friday, with the suspect reportedly wearing a white face mask.

Kanyetu said the suspect allegedly entered the woman’s house while she was busy cleaning her room.

He allegedly threatened her with a large knife and raped her.

The suspect has not yet been arrested, and investigations continue.

The police are calling on the public for any information that might lead to the arrest of the masked man. -Nampa
