Windhoek: A 58-year-old man was found dead in an apparent suicide at his home in Usakos Street, Havana, Windhoek, on Saturday. The Namibian Police Force reported that Martin Waendama Shipo was found with a pistol in his right hand in his bedroom.
According to Namibia Press Agency, the discovery was made by Shipo’s girlfriend when she returned home and found the door locked from the inside. Her attempts to reach him by phone were unsuccessful, prompting her to alert a mobile police station in the Havana area. Police officers responded by breaking the padlock to gain access to the home, where they found Shipo’s body on the bed.
The body was subsequently moved to the police mortuary as investigations into the incident continue.
