Woman allegedly hangs herself at Sinunga village

RUNDU – A woman committed suicide by hanging herself at Sinunga village in the Ndiyona constituency of the Kavango East region on Tuesday.

The Namibian Police’s crime investigations coordinator in the region, Bonifatius Kanyetu told Nampa yesterday the incident occurred around 11h00.

The woman and her two minor children reportedly went into the field to eat wild berries.

A while later, the children discovered their mother hanging from a tree with a cloth around her neck.

They then ran to inform their father, who unsuccessfully attempted to save his wife with the help of community members.

The deceased was identified as Cecilia Masora Paulus and her body was transported to the Rundu State Hospital mortuary.

No foul play has been suspected and no suicide note was left behind.

The police also reported that a 12-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a 26-year-old man at Sauyemwa informal settlement at Rundu on Sunday.

The incident reportedly took place at a house where the suspect had sexual intercourse with the minor under coercive circumstances.

He was arrested the same day.
