POLICE in Bulawayo
are investigating a case of a mutilated newborn baby that was dumped at a house
in Barbourfields last week.
Provincial ppokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube yesterday
said Barbourfields police received information on July 27 that a woman had
discovered a baby’s two lower limbs a few metres from a house in the suburb.
“Barbourfields CID Homicide and Scenes of Crime attended
the scene. They observed two lower limbs of a newborn baby and some blood
stains on the ground. The limbs were cut off just above the knees,” he said.
Ncube said they got another tip-off that there was more
evidence along the railway line just a few metres from the crime
scene.
“Police officers also found a shopping bag with blood
stains. Inside the shopping bag were a small mirror (glass) and a placenta. The
body parts were taken to United Bulawayo Hospitals Mortuary for post-mortem and
investigations are in progress.”
Ncube appealed to members of the public who have
information that could lead to the arrest of the suspect. Newsday
