Mabvuku Mysterious ‘Bloodbath’ Suspcted To Be Of A Girl Who Went Missing In 2011

DIFFERENT versions and theories are emerging from Mabvuku where a blood-like fluid is flowing in a trench close to Kamunhu Shopping Centre. ‌

A Mabvuku family suspects that the ‘blood’ is of their daughter, who went missing in 2011.  A source said Melinda Amos mysteriously went missing at the age of 23.

The family now believes the ‘blood’ flowing in the trench, opposite her father’s house, might be hers.  “The girl disappeared mysteriously in 2011 and she was married with no child.  “We believe that she is trying to communicate with her father.

“It’s unheard of that blood can just start seeping from underground.  “Tayedza kudira mvura kuda kuwona kuti hausi muto unobuda muma gum tree here asi tatozowona kuti ayewa iri iropa,” said the source.

We suspect that the girl who went missing in 2011 is trying to communicate this way.  “There is a need to engage sangomas,” said another resident.

The developments have left residents shell-shocked after claims emerged that the fluid has been flowing since Saturday.

Some residents expressed mixed feelings.

“All this is spiritual.

Another resident said:  RESIDENTS gathered to catch a glimpse of the mysterious fluid  “When we got to the scene, some people were saying it’s not blood.

The blood-like fluid was first seen on Saturday at Kamunhu Shopping Centre, raising a lot of questions among residents.

“We are not sure if this is blood, but at first, we thought someone could have been attacked by robbers,” said a resident.

“I now doubt that it is blood because if it was blood, there would have been an unbearable stench and there would also have been swarms of flies in the trench.

“Rains have been pouring for the past few days, but never cleared this fluid.  “If it’s a chemical, that means whoever dumped it must be made accountable for such pollution,” he said.

The trench cuts across a maize field and people from as far as Tafara made a beeline to catch a glimpse.  This followed rumours of fresh blood seeping from the ground.

“It’s coming from underground, seeping through cracks along the trench.  “So, we poured some water expecting it to stop, but nothing changed. Vanhu vadira mvura, but parikuramba pachingobuda chete.”

“I think we need to invite sangomas because we are surprised by this incident.

“Maybe we also need experts to test this fluid and tell us if it’s real blood or chemicals.”

The Pacific 24-Hour Hospital is a few metres away from the place, and some suggested the liquid could be coming from the health institution.

However, Pacific’s human resources officer, Anne Sakhala, distanced the hospital from it.  “We are not responsible for the chemicals/liquid found in the drainage system,” she said.

“We do not dispose anything into trenches and urge people not to block the drainage system by throwing waste into it.

“The health of our people is our concern, and we cannot risk their lives by engaging in health hazard activities.”
