Mysterious beast kills, sucks blood of goats

RESIDENTS of Ondeihaluka in the Ongha area of the Ohangwena region were left scratching their heads for answers after five goats were killed and their blood sucked out by unknown predators in the early hours of yesterday morning.

The goats belong to Selma Nandjaya, and were killed in the same fashion as many others killed in the area since 2000. Two of the goats were bitten from behind, gutted and had some of their intestines removed. The other two were bitten and gutted, but no organs were removed. The mysterious predators also left two goats injured, while two others are missing. Furious villagers complained to The Namibian that since 2000, these predators have been killing goats at villages around Ongha, and they now fear that one day they will attack human beings.
