Lawyer Patrick Kauta wants DNA test results for former minister Mac Hengari, who faces legal troubles. Kauta sent this request to the Windhoek court prosecutor on Friday. The attorney claims police let reporters photograph Hengari during his April 26 arrest just to shame him publicly.

Kauta noted the rape accuser appeared at the arrest scene despite police saying she stayed in a safe house. He believes officers helped commit a crime against his client. When questioned on April 27, Hengari heard from police commissioner Nelius Becker that DNA proved he wasn't the father.

Kauta plans to seek bail urgently for Hengari. He asked for all case documents the state might use at a bail hearing. The court must deliver DNA results on Wednesday afternoon. Hengari appeared last Monday, charged with blocking justice.

Officials accused him of trying to bribe his rape accuser with N$230,000 to drop her case. Police arrested him near a restaurant during what reports call a sting operation. Hengari said he resigned from his minister post on April 27, but the president had already fired him four days earlier.
