A decomposing body of a man was found floating in a Harare City Council valve chamber in Sunningdale.
Harare City Council’s corporate communications manager Mr Michael Chideme confirmed the incident.
Said Chideme:
A body of an adult was found in the sewer chambers. Children playing close to the chambers discovered the body and alerted their elders who then made a police report, resulting in a joint operation between police and council to retrieve the body.
Ward 10 councillor (Sunningdale), Hammy Madzingira said the decomposing body was discovered on Tuesday, but was retrieved on Wednesday.
Said Madzingira:
Detectives from CID Homicide were alerted and since it was already in the evening, they instructed that the body be retrieved the following day so that they could study the scene. The following day the body was retrieved by a council excavator.
