A MAN was allegedly killed and dumped along the railway where he was later run over by a goods train in Gwanda.
Matabeleland South provincial police spokesperson, Chief
Inspector Philisani Ndebele confirmed the incident which occurred just outside
the Gwanda CBD in the early hours of Tuesday.
He said the driver of the train who was coming from
Beitbridge reported on Tuesday at around 2AM that he had run over the body of a
man who was lying lifeless on the railway line.
“I can confirm that we recorded a suspected murder case
where an unidentified male adult was found lying on the railway line. A train
driver who was coming from Beitbridge reported at the police station that he
came across a body of a man who was lying on the railway line. The train went
over the man before the driver brought it to a standstill.
“His head was dislodged from the rest of his body and he
had multiple injuries all over his body. A national identity card was found
close to his body but investigations are underway to ascertain whether it
belongs to him. We appeal to members of the public who are missing their
relative to contact the Gwanda Urban Police Station,” he said. Chronicle
