ZIMBABWE –A Chipinge family has refused to bury a relative who was murdered by three men following an altercation over a beer bottle.
The deceased, Tanaka Blessing Sithole, 27, whose body was dumped in Dakate River by his alleged murderers was found after three days floating in a river without private parts, all his intestines and the skin to his abdomen was peeled off.
The deceasedâs body is now stuck at Chiredzi District Hospital after his family disputed postmortem findings which said that the missing body parts were mauled by a crocodile.
The suspected murderers Mapipi Sigauke (49), Gilbert Chingwinire (28), Oddiness Sigauke, Mazano Sigauke (26) of Chisavanye Village, and Edmore Mutetwa (33) of Handireni Village have since been remanded in prison until the 22nd of March 2021 by Chipinge Magistrate Elizabeth Hanzi.
