Missing German Women Found Dead In Namibia

Two German women who went missing recently, have been found dead in neighbouring country, Namibia.

The two women were reported as missing let week, after they were said to have gone for a hike in the area. Their bodies were found on Monday, according to police.

Their bodies were discovered at the Fish River Canyon, in the south of the country.

Police said that they were notified in Sunday that the two women had gone hiking on Thursday, but had never returned. they then found their bodies a day later.

“…[sic] Today (Monday) at about 10:50 (08:50 GMT), the police found the bodies of the two missing German tourists at the Fish River Canyon,” a police statement read.

In an interesting twist, it is alleged that the two women – aged 27 and 28 – could have possibly come to the Namibian desert as part of a so-called ‘suicide pact’ and that they decided to commit suicide together.

Namibian police chief Sebastian Ndeitunga told AFP that this may be the case:

“…[there are] allegations that the two tourists came to commit suicide here are true. This is a rare case,” he said. He continued saying that it is a rare case because they had left many documents behind, but they could not yet verify suicide notes:

“…We can’t confirm that because the deceased left quite a few of their documents, and we can’t at this stage interpret any to be a suicide note,”
