OSHAKATI – The lung that was buried near the Ongwediva cemetery and dug up by the police on Monday has been identified as that of a cow.

This was confirmed by regional police commander Commissioner Naftal Lungameni Sakaria on Tuesday.

The lung was found buried at Omatando No.1 near the cemetery along with black leggings, a white sheet and a T-shirt.

“We managed to discover where the lung was bought after the price tag was discovered,” he said.

A similar incident occurred last week, and Sakaria indicated that the heart and lung found at the time have also been identified as belonging to an animal.

Sakaria urged members of the public to refrain from involving themselves in such acts and causing fear in the community, saying if the culprit is found, he or she will be dealt with. - Nampa
