AN unidentified man was on Tuesday found dead in Mutare’s Yeovil medium-density suburb.
The man’s body was found lying under a tree and it was in an advanced
state of decomposition. Police attended the scene on Wednesday and
ferried the body to Mutare Provincial Hospital for post-mortem. Police
were yet to establish the identity of the man. It could not be
established if it was murder or a case of suicide.
“We are yet to get finer details of the matter. We cannot confirm if
it was murder or suicide since we are yet to receive a full report,”
said Manicaland provincial police spokesperson Inspector Tavhiringwa
Kakohwa.
He said a Mutare City Council employee, Mr Abel Chipangano, who is
employed as a plumber, was doing his duties when he saw the man’s body
in a bushy area behind Dairiboard Mutare pre-cast wall on Wednesday. He
alerted the police who attended the scene.
“No positive identification has been made so far. Anyone with a
missing relative should visit Mutare Central Police Station for
identification,” added Insp Kakohwa. A source who arrived at the scene
on Wednesday morning said the upper part of the body was in an advanced
state of decomposition.
“Mutare City Council employees were repairing pipes near a shopping
centre in Yeovil. They noticed a dead man whose head was partially
covered with soil His face could not be identified because it was in an
advanced state of decomposition. People jostled to catch a glimpse of
the man. Police covered the body and took it to Mutare Provincial
Hospital Mortuary,” he said. Manica post
