Some of the body parts like the left palm have come out
positive while the results of the skull are yet to be released.
The family’s lawyer, Tabitha Chikeya yesterday confirmed
the developments, saying: “We wrote a letter to the Commissioner-General of
Police, copied the letter to CID Forensics and to the Prosecutor-General. In
our letter, we requested for the DNA results for Tapiwa, the letter was
responded to today and in their response they stated the following: The torso
belonged to Tapiwa, the palm also belong to the late Tapiwa Makore, as well as
the legs.
“As regards to the head which was also examined, the
results are not yet out, so we do not know whether the head belongs to him.
“There is another set of bones which was taken on November
28, it was sent for pathology testing and it was concluded that the bones do
not belong to a human being,” she said.
The body parts that went for forensic testing include a set
of legs, human skull, abdomen and a palm. The seven-year-old boy was brutally
murdered in September in his rural home of Murewa in a chilling incident, with
his head yet to be found.
Chikeya, who was assigned to represent the family by the
Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights on December 3 wrote to police boss, demanding
the DNA forensic results as the family sought closure of the case and at least
bury their son. Newsday
