The shocking incident was confirmed to Mmegi Online by station commander, Superintendent Keoagile Tau, in an interview. He stated that they acted on a phone call tip off which alerted them of possibility of a corpse in a pit latrine due to a strong stench coming from the toilet. Without wasting time, Tau explained that officers rushed to the scene and were met with a horrendous discovery when a corpse was indeed retrieved from the toilet. "When we got there and destroyed the pit latrine, we found the body inside," Tau said.
"However, that was not all.”This is a brutal murder where we established that the victim’s head, arm, and leg had been cut. This was done to fit the body into the latrine." Tau added that they managed to retrieve all the body parts from the pit latrine. Since the inquiry into the case was at its infancy, the station commander said they were not at liberty to neither confirm nor deny whether the victim was beheaded while still alive. Tau further stated that although they are still conducting investigations, they have fortunately apprehended a suspect, who has been identified as a 27-year-old Zimbabwean man. "We have arrested a 27-year-old, and during our investigations, we discovered that the two were cousins who lived together," he said.
