POLICE are investigating a case of murder after a naked
body of a 50-year-old man was found dumped in a cattle sales pen at Mbamba
Business Centre in Tsholotsho.
The suspected murder occurred last Friday. Aby Ndlovu of
Salani Village under Chief Mhlathini was last seen leaving the business centre
at night going to his homestead after a beer drink.
It is suspected that some unknown assailants mugged Ndlovu
and stripped him of his clothes which they later dumped about 100 metres away
from where the body was found.
Matabeleland North police spokesperson Chief Inspector
Siphiwe Makonese confirmed the incident.
“The now deceased
was at Mbamba Business Centre drinking beer with other villagers when at about
11PM he told a friend Mr Nelson Ndlovu from the same area that he was drunk and
wanted to go home,” said Chief Insp Makonese.
Ndlovu’s clothes were dumped about 100 metres away from
where the body was.
There were marks around the scene showing that the deceased
struggled with some people before being murdered, Chief Insp Makonese said.
