Elizabeth Kheibes
A two-year-old toddler, allegedly left alone at home, died in a fire at Farm Bankmine Camp near Rehoboth over the weekend.

According to the police, the child succumbed to injuries sustained in the fire, which broke out while she was sleeping.

"It is alleged that the toddler was left alone," the police stated in a report.

In a separate incident at Otjokavare Village in the Kunene Region, police reported that two people, Given Kausiona (18) and Umuna Tjiveze (12), drowned in a riverbed where they had gone for a swim.

The police also reported that on Friday in the Bethanie area, a 58-year-old Namibian man was arrested for allegedly stealing 14 sheep to the value of N$17 500.

The arrest followed a reported tip-off to the police.

Moreover, the police are investigating a robbery in Windhoek over the weekend.

"The suspects broke the door, entered the house of two Chinese nationals, and tied them up. It is alleged that the suspects took items to a value of N$241 900."

No one has been arrested in connection with the robbery to date.
