The court stalled the bail hearing for Sydney Halupe again because the state's prosecutor didn't show up. Halupe, a 33-year-old businessman and independent political candidate from Swakopmund, Namibia, remains locked up on a rape charge. The case involves a reported assault on a 20-year-old woman at the Nonidas area earlier this month.
Police spokesperson Inspector Serafine Kandjimi confirmed the arrest. The accusation states Halupe had sex with the victim without her permission. The young woman reported the incident right after it supposedly happened. His first court appearance led to a delay for a bail hearing, which has now been postponed a second time.
The hearing got pushed to a later date because a qualified prosecutor was absent. Halupe stays in custody while cops continue their investigation.
