A 27-YEAR-OLD man from Karibib was arrested on Thursday for allegedly killing his one-year-old stepdaughter.
An incident report issued by Erongo crime investigations coordinator Erastus Iikuyu on Friday indicated that the man is being charged with murder, and will appear in the Karibib Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
The alleged murder took place on Thursday in the Usab location after the mother left Mousha Kendy Nunuhes with the suspect before going to work at around 06h00.
“She returned home at about 18h00 and found the child dead with bruises all over the body. The remains were taken to the Walvis Bay Police mortuary for a post- mortem examination to determine the cause of death,” said Iikuyu.
Police investigations continue.
