A prominent farmer from Mvurwi, Norman Muchineripi Mutsigwa (72), was found dead under mysterious circumstances yesterday along the Mazowe-Centenary highway.
Mutsigwa’s body was discovered at the 41-kilometer mark of the highway, partially dressed, with a used condom lying beside him. His black Honda vehicle, registration number AFF-7957, was found nearby.
Mashonaland Central police spokesperson, Inspector Milton Mundembe, confirmed the incident and indicated that foul play is suspected. “We can confirm the case, but investigations are still ongoing. At this stage, we are suspecting foul play,” said Mundembe.
