Tapiwa was allegedly murdered in September last year for
ritual purposes and was buried six months later in March.
His father, Munyaradzi Makore, told NewsDay that they were
still waiting to hear from the police.
“We are still waiting. We haven’t heard anything from
police since the burial of our son. We will hear from them. So far, nothing can
be said concerning the missing body parts,” he said.
The remains of the boy were buried at his homestead in
Nyamutumbu village at a funeral that was attended by government ministers. The
family has tried in vain both traditional and religious means to locate the
boy’s head.
Last Wednesday in the National Assembly, Zengeza West MP
Job Sikhala (MDC Alliance) asked Home Affairs minister Kazembe Kazembe to
explain what the police was doing to ensure that the boy’s head was found.
“What I am aware of is that forensic audits were done and
the family was not very satisfied. They were saying some of the parts do not
belong to him. The family was then free to choose their own scientists who
would carry out the forensic audit. As far as the police are concerned, thorough
investigations were done,” Kazembe said. Newsday
