Chipinge Mum Keeping Rotting Corpse At Home
Police in Chipinge are investigating the case of a young woman in Medium Density who was reportedly keeping a decomposing infant in her house.
The woman’s neighbours had to call the police due to a heavy stench that was coming from the house.
Police and detectives were shocked to find the body of a baby (3 weeks old) rotting in a blanket on the floor.
According to Chipinge Times, police took away the body for a postmortem.
However, the suspected mother of the dead child and her mother are reportedly not answering questions from the police.

District Community Relations Liason Officer Assistant Inspector Jawett Kamera confirmed the matter but said details were still sketchy.
The mother of the child has only been identified as Barbra and it is not clear when the baby was born and how it died.
Speaking to Chipinge Times on condition of anonymity, a Chipinge resident said they suspected that the two women who have been keeping the body are mentally unstable. Said the resident:
We were attracted by a heavy smell. We called a Police officer who was just passing by and he attended the scene.
Later on, CID detectives came to the house to question the two but to no avail. The detectives were shocked when they saw the body lying on the floor, covered in a blanket.
Another resident, who also declined to be identified, claimed that the family of the deceased child acts weird. Said the neighbour:
The two are not saying anything. During questioning, they just remained silent. It is still an ongoing case. No one really knows what transpired because the family lives isolated in their small cabin.
This is not happening for the first time. There was an incident again at the same house. A young boy who is a brother to Barbra died.
For days, the mother would carry him in and outside the house. It was reported and the body was then buried. It is a strange family.
