POLICE in Mudzi are investigating a suspected murder case
following the discovery of the remains of a 10-year-old boy at the
Zimbabwe-Mozambique border two weeks ago after the minor had gone missing for
more than a month.
The minor’s parents, from Masevo village under Chief
Chikwizo, allegedly buried their child’s remains at the weekend without
informing the police.
Mashonaland East provincial police spokesperson Inspector
Tendai Mwanza confirmed the incident and said police were treating the case as
suspected murder.
“We are currently investigating a case of suspected murder
in Mudzi. The 10-year-old boy went missing before his remains were found,” he
said.
“There is a possibility of exhuming the body as part of
investigations. After discovering the remains, the deceased’s relatives
proceeded to bury the juvenile without notifying police.”
The police said the minor went missing on August 15 before
his remains were recovered along the Gozi-Rwenya Road at the
Zimbabwe-Mozambique border on September 18.
On September 26, police received a tip-off from other
villagers that the minor’s remains had been recovered and buried without their
knowledge. Newsday
