By Anna Shilongo WINDHOEK The dead person whose body parts were found at various points along the national roads recently, has been identified as 37-year-old Sanna (Susan) Helena //Garoes from Kalkrand. Family members positively identified //Garoes’ body when they inspected the head, torso, thighs and the lower legs at the Windhoek police mortuary last week. Her 66-year-old mother, Lena Engelbrecht, identified her from the head. //Garoes, well known around Windhoek, was reported by the police as missing from June 13, 2007. She was last seen in front of Zum Wirt Restaurant in Windhoek at about 23h00 on the same day. Police spokesperson, Chief Inspector Angula Amulungu, confirmed that the B1 torso and the other body parts discovered during the police search, belonged to //Garoes. Amulungu said because the DNA test was not yet concluded, they had to find alternative ways of identifying the body parts. Blood samples were taken from family members for comparison. ” After the outcome of the blood test it was clear to us that that the body parts belonged to //Garoes. We took blood samples from her mother and her two sisters. Another clear identity was the deceased’s weight of 52 kg and the height of 1,7 metres,” said Amulungu. Asked whether family members would bury the body parts or wait for the police search to be completed, Amulungu said it was no longer the work of the police. “It is up to the family, whether they want to bury the deceased now or wait for other findings.” So far only the torso, head, thighs, lower legs and feet with four toes have been found, while the arms and six toes are missing. He confirmed that the body is still at the police mortuary and investigations continue. The spokesperson also urged the perpetrator behind the killing to stop playing hide-and-seek with the police. Amulungu said the Namibian Police still have no clues regarding the identity of the B1 murderer, but the manhunt is still on for the elusive killer/s. He appealed to anyone with information on the likely killer/s to come forward and encouraged members of the public not to feel too threatened to bring information to the Namibian Police, adding that the law enforcement unit would protect them. “We are urging the person who holds the key to the successful arrest of this monster to portray the sense of patriotism and unlock the ‘container’ where he or she keeps that required piece of information, and to come forth and be counted as a hero for acting bravely in the defence of peace and security,” said Amulungu. He once again reminded the public of the N$60ÃÆ’Æ‘ÀÃ…ÃÆ”šÃ‚ 000 reward offered by the Namibian Police, adding that it still stands. He expressed satisfaction with members of the public who have been phoning his office and those who came to identify the body parts. “We put our trust in you. The police investigation could never be successful without the cooperation of the public,” he said. Amulungu assured the public that once the police have concrete conclusions, the public would be the first to be informed. “I am confident that my officers will find ways to arrest the culprit/s, no matter how long it takes to get to the bottom of the matter.” //Garoes’ torso was the first body part to be discovered at a rest spot in a rubbish bin some 30 km from Okahandja on the B1 road, followed by the two thighs that were also discovered at a rest spot along the road by workers of Star Pricast Company, some 30 km before Rehoboth, while the head, lower legs and feet were discovered at farm Voigtland about 35 km from Windhoek. Though it could not be determined as to how long the body parts had been on the scene, Amulungu said they had not reached the decomposing stage. “They were all frozen. The face of the deceased was also still recognizable. But however, one disturbing part is that both feet’s three middles toes are cut off. This is very much disturbing,” he said at the time of the discovery.
