Horror Scenes As Bush Worshippers Discover Dumped Body Of Missing Bulawayo Man

Bush Worshippers Discover Dumped Body Of Missing Bulawayo Man


The corpse of a missing Bulawayo man was discovered by two worshippers in a bush with strangulation marks, in what is suspected to be a murder case.
It is alleged that two worshippers came across a dead man’s body as they went to their shrine for prayers in Cowdray Park suburb.
IBOMTV has learned from a local publication that, the now deceased was reported missing on Friday after his relatives failed to locate his whereabouts.
Bulawayo Police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube confirmed that the incident happened at Siphaziphazi.
He said that,

“We are dealing with a case in which two people found a dead body in a bushy area as they were going to their prayers in the area known as Siphaziphazi. The incident happened at around 2 pm on Saturday, July 11, 2020. As they went about their business, they noticed a body lying lifeless.

“The body was found about 30 meters from a car suspected to belong to the deceased, which was parked in the area. The deceased person had been reported missing the previous day. We are treating the case as murder and our forensics team is at work as strangulation marks were found on the deceased person’s neck.”

The body was taken to the United Bulawayo Hospitals (UBH) for a post mortem.

The identity of the deceased is still being withheld as his next of kin are yet to be notified.
The police are calling on anyone who has information pertaining to the incident to come forward and help the police with the investigations.

“We call on members of the public to come forward with any information that could lead to the arrest of the murder suspects(s) who are still at large,” said Inspector Ncube.

This murder case follows another murder reported in Luveve suburb which happened on the same day, of a man who was killed in his house by a quarantine center escapee who had allegedly stolen his cellphone and groceries.
Inspector Ncube is calling members of the public to desist from resorting to violence and committing crime.

“We also call on the public desist from crime. We cannot have two murders in neighboring suburbs on the same day. We urge the public to report the criminals because they live amongst us. If there are people who have come from elsewhere, and they are suspicious, report them to the nearest police station. Of late we are having cases of people escaping from quarantine centers. Do not harbor them, some of them are criminals. Report them to the police and report families that are harboring these criminals,” said Insp Ncube.
