The National Police Command in the municipality of Cazengo (Cuanza Norte) urged citizens to go to the fields accompanied, given the increase in cases of rape of peasants in recent days.

The appeal was made today (Wednesday), by the commander of the PN in the municipality of Cazengo, Mário Bartolomeu, in reaction to the rape and murder, on Monday (October 21) of a 74-year-old Angolan citizen, in Lavra.

The victim’s body was found three days after the crime, after being reported missing.

According to the commander, this is the third case of homicide in the municipality of Cazengo, since the beginning of the year, involving peasants, while they were carrying out cultivation activities in the fields.

Meanwhile, as part of the reinforcement of public security, the police carried out 12 micro-operations in several peripheral neighborhoods of the district last week, which culminated in the arrest of more than 20 individuals, most of whom were allegedly involved in crimes of robbery, assault on public institutio
ns and illegal possession of firearms.
