THE family of the Murewa boy who was slain in cold blood for ritual purposes have asked to be allowed to bury the torso.
Speaking during a march against ritual killings and child
abuse held in the capital on Saturday, Munyaradzi Makore pleaded with
authorities to allow them to bury the torso as police continue with
investigations.
“As Makore family we would like to take this opportunity to
thank Zimbabweans and President Mnangagwa for standing with us in sorrow,” said
Makore.
“It is our wish to find relief and comfort by being allowed
to bury part of the body as police continue with their investigations that may
lead to locating the other body parts,” said Makore.
“The incident took place close to a month ago now and our
tears are yet to dry. We are in pain
because we are yet to bury our boy.
“Among us are villagers and friends who accompanied us from
Murewa to participate in the march with a view to see the greenlight to put the
boy’s spirit to rest,” said Makore.
Tapiwa Makore was murdered in a suspected ritual killing
and Tafadzwa Shamba, a herdsman, and the boy’s uncle have since been arrested
and taken to court facing murder charges.
Police are still trying to locate the head given to a
traditional healer. H Metro
