Missing Tsumeb man’s body found offshore

The body of Nafutal Shinedima (37), who was reported missing on Wednesday, was recovered from the ocean near Swakopmund on Sunday after a two-day search. Erongo police senior inspector Hilma Shomongula on Sunday confirmed that Shinedima’s body was found in the same area where he was suspected to have entered the sea. She said his brother identified the body before it was transported to the Walvis Bay police mortuary.

“The police in Erongo region wish to extend their heartfelt condolences to the family and friends for this untimely death,” Shomongula said. The recovery was carried out by the Monarch Lifeguard team, which had been involved in the search effort since reports emerged that Shinedima had gone missing.
