A 17-MONTH-OLD Mvurwi baby who disappeared mysteriously at
Three Sisters Farm on Saturday was found dead at a nearby stream.
Fungisai Antonio was left by her mother Christine Maurukira
(27) in the custody of her grandmother Fungisai Kamushinda (49).
Maurukira had gone to look for piece jobs in the next
village. Mashonaland Central police spokesperson Inspector Milton Mundembe
confirmed the incident.
“We are investigating a suspected murder case in Mvurwi,
where a baby girl was reported missing for two days and was subsequently found
floating in a stream.
Police conducted a body search and found scars on the body.
The body has been sent to Mvurwi mortuary for safe-keeping,” Mundembe said.
A witness, Samson Gomba, told NewsDay that the girl had
been left playing with six other minors when she disappeared.
Meanwhile, a 24-year-old Bindura man, Washington Chirizena
(24), of Katanya Farm, drowned in a dam where he was reportedly taking a bath
on Sunday.
“I can confirm a case of drowning in Bindura where a male
adult went on the deep end of the dam in the company of two miners who
witnessed him drowning and later advised community members, who then retrieved
the body,” Mundembe said.
In yet another incident, an eight-year-old Guruve girl died
after an ox-drawn scotch cart she was riding overturned and crushed her.
