A human skeleton was discovered on Sunday morning at Farm Otjombonde in the Kalkfeld district by a cattle herder who alerted the police.

Namibian Police Force Head of Community Affairs in the Otjozondjupa Region, Inspector Maureen Mbeha on Monday told Nampa that the skeleton comprised a skull and bones of ribs, legs, arms and backbone nature.

Items such as a black pair of size six sandals, a blue old jacket and underwear suspected to be of an adult woman were also found on the scene, said Mbeha.

“The remains were collected and dispatched to the Otjiwarongo police mortuary for further handling,” she added.

The Otjozondjupa police now calls on members of the general public in the area missing a female adult relative to contact the Kalkfeld police station.
