Namibia: Police in Court for R
THREE Police officers accused of perverting the course of justice by conspiring to have a rape charge against one of them withdrawn appeared in the Tsumeb Regional Court yesterday.
A date for the start of their trial was set with the appearance of the three officers before Magistrate Harris Salionga.
Constable Mawila Hangula, Detective Inspector Abner Agas, and Detective Sergeant M Kaypiti are set to go on trial on May 31 next year.
At the trial, Hangula is set to face a first count of rape, while Agas and Kaypiti will face a first count of being accessories after the fact to the crime of rape.
All three officers will also face a second charge of attempting to defeat or obstruct the course of justice, alternatively incitement to commit the offence of compounding, which is the act of trying to prevent a prosecution in exchange for money.
It is alleged that a rape charge was laid against Hangula at the Tsumeb Police Station in October last year.
Later, however, the charge was allegedly withdrawn.
It then came to light that the complainant had allegedly been approached with an offer of payment if she agreed to withdraw the charge.
In the aftermath of that, it is further alleged, the docket on the investigation of the charge against Hangula disappeared while in the care of the Tsumeb Police.
