Experts fear a serial killer roams Okahandja after three young girls died there last month. The murders happened almost in the same way, raising alarm throughout the community. Two victims went missing on Thursday mornings and were found dead on Fridays in the Veddersdal area. Five-year-old Ingrid Maasdorp disappeared on March 20 and was discovered under a bridge the next day. Six-year-old Roswind Fabianu vanished on April 24 and turned up at a graveyard on April 25.
A third victim, Beyonce !Kharuxas, age 15, was found on April 26 in bushes near the Five Rand settlement. She had gone out drinking with friends when two unknown men bought them alcohol. Police say she left to use the bathroom and never came back. Clinical psychologist Shaun Whittaker asks for talks about the deeper social problems behind these crimes. He points to issues like hatred of women and unhealthy interest in children.
Psychology expert Joab Mudzanapabwe believes these attacks show signs of a careful predator working in the area. He notes how similar the first two cases are, with both girls going missing and being found in nearly the same places. President Nandi-Ndaitwah has ordered a curfew for Okahandja residents as police step up their hunt for the killer.
