Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span> MOST people escape from the past year\u2019s stress and hard work over Christmas, while criminals at the same time break away from cells and police stations.<\/p>\n

A suspected rapist and assailant are among the six men who escaped from custody on 24 and 25 December.<\/p>\n

In Outjo, four male inmates in police holding cell number 5 on 24 December cut the iron bars of the ceiling and roof with an unknown object and disappeared.<\/p>\n

Of the four escapees, two are suspected stock thieves and two poachers. Their ages are 24, 28, 32 and 40.<\/p>\n

The Outjo police do not know at what time exactly the suspects got out but are investigating the matter.<\/p>\n

On Christmas Day around 20:00, a 23-year-old man charged with rape escaped from custody during cell visiting hours at the Aranos police station.<\/p>\n

The police are still searching for the man.<\/p>\n

The reports came after Informant\u00e9 earlier reported on the panga-wielding girlfriend attacker who also on 25 December around 20:00 escaped from custody and ran from the Usakos police charge office just before lock-up.<\/p>\n

He allegedly attempted to cut his 33-year-old girlfriend with a panga and threatened to kill her at their residence.<\/p>\n

The victim has been taken to an unknown location while the search for the suspect continues.<\/p>\n
