Man allegedly deliberately kills minor with bakkie

A 50-year-old farmer was on Tuesday granted bail of N$3 000 for allegedly killing a nine-year-old girl after he intentionally drove over her with his Toyota Land Cruiser. She succumbed to her injuries at the Mariental State Hospital.

The horrendous incident happened between 08h00 and 09h12 at the Hardap Scheme on Sunday. It is alleged that the deceased, her mother and several other people were harvesting beans in the field of the suspect without his consent.

Johan Meyer spotted them, and chased them with his car. The deceased fell and the vehicle drove over her, causing internal injuries. 

Meyer was arrested on Tuesday, and appeared in court the same day. His case was then remanded to 24 August for further police investigations.

“The deceased was identified as Hindbrain Mupolo,” the police said in a report.

Over the weekend, the Namibian Police recorded over 16 road accidents, coupled with several deaths and serious injuries. Several drivers who caused the accidents were under the influence of alcohol.
