KEETMANSHOOP – A 28-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed to death by her boyfriend at Rosh Pinah in the //Kharas region on Friday.

Namibian Police  crime investigations coordinator for the region, Deputy Commissioner Nicodemus Mbango, on Sunday said the incident happened between 20h00 and 21h00 at the Tutungeni residential area.

The deceased was identified as Sarah Muzorongondo, and her next of kin have been informed of her death.
It is alleged that the suspect went to the deceased’s room to collect his belongings, after she had told him to do so.
“The deceased and suspect were not heard arguing, but neighbours only heard the deceased screaming for help whilst in her room. 

The neighbours went outside and discovered that the door to the room was locked from the inside. The deceased told the neighbours outside that the suspect was busy slitting her throat. 

The neighbours tried to kick open the door, but it did not open, and suddenly it got quiet inside the room,” said the commissioner.
Mbango added that when the brother of the suspect arrived at the scene, he took a stone and started hitting the door until it swung open.

“When the brother stormed inside the room, he found the deceased lying on the floor in a pool of blood with the suspect lying next to her. The brother saw that the suspect was still breathing while the deceased remained unresponsive.

The police and ambulance arrived at the scene, and the deceased was declared dead at the scene,” he said.
The suspect is receiving medical care at the Keetmanshoop State Hospital as he has wounds on his neck and chest, which the police believe to be self-inflicted.

The deceased and the suspect have been in a romantic relationship since 2018, and they started cohabiting at the deceased’s place in 2020 until Thursday, when the suspect was told to leave.

Police investigation into the matter continues.
