IN a suspected case of ritual murder, the body of a 57-year-old tractor driver who had been missing for five days was found with a deep cut on the head.
His eyes were also missing. The remains of Grey Chirimo, who was employed
by Allied Timbers, were recovered in Nyangani Dam after he had disappeared with
the tractor he was driving when he was last seen.
The tractor was found by members of the police sub-aqua
unit two days before his body was discovered in Nyangani Dam. Allied Timbers
had to hire a crane to retrieve the tractor from the dam.
Police confirmed the gory murder and said investigations
were in progress. It is alleged that
Chirimo knocked off duty at an Allied Timbers Estate in Mutasa on April 14 and
went to the workshop to park the tractor.
“The following day, Justin William Matanga saw a trailer
which was stuck on a tree. There were tractor tyre marks leading to Nyangani
Dam.
“A spirited search by the sub-aqua unit failed to recover
Chirimo’s body. It was later found floating in Nyangani Dam on April 21. There
was a deep cut on his head, with his eyes missing,” said Manicaland provincial
police spokesperson, Inspector Luxson Chananda.
