Suspected farm attacker found in bird's nest

Namibian police made a bizarre discovery when they tracked down an alleged farm attacker hiding in a bird’s nest. Police spokesperson chief inspector Pendukeni Haikali told TimesLIVE that two farm workers allegedly overpowered and attacked an elderly farm owner, his wife and a worker in the Kalkrand area of Namibia. The suspects stole a vehicle and fled the scene but they were intercepted between Rehoboth and Uhlernost roads. Two suspects were arrested and the vehicle was recovered but the third managed to escape. He was later found hiding in a huge weaver bird nest in the red Kalahari dunes. Alfons Kalola, Celistimus Eita and Dawid Maliki have appeared in the Mariental Magistrate’s Court where the matter was postponed to 11 December.
