The Okahao police, called to a drowning incident at the weekend, watched on haplessly as an Amarika man and two others removed the lifeless body of a 6-year-old boy, who died in a well while trying to fetch water. The police told Namibian Sun that they were afraid to jump into the well as it looked dangerous.
The boy has been identified as Martin Andiyatuye Iipinge, a learner at the Amarika Primary School. Iipinge went missing on Saturday evening and was only discovered by people who went to collect water from the well the next morning.
