The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism has identified its employee Otto Jan Uirab as the suspect in the poaching incident that occurred last week. He is charged alongside Nedbank employee, Harold Xarageb, and two other suspects Gaeb Franklin and Veldskoendraer Neely. The suspects were arrested on suspicion of illegally hunting a blue wildebeest in the Dan Viljoen Park near Windhoek last week. They have since appeared in the Katutura Magistrate’s court. A case has been opened with the Otjomuise Police station and the suspects were remanded in custody until the May 2023. The suspects were arrested at the police roadblock, west of Windhoek, leading to the game park. Uirab was stationed at the Park as an assistant game ranger for the environment ministry and the other suspects were arrested with the carcass of the wildebeest in the boot of their sedan vehicle.
