Police in the Midlands are looking for relatives of a deceased woman who has not been identified since January after she was found dead in Gokwe.
The body of the deceased was discovered on January in a sewer pond with police suspecting that she could have been murdered before being dumped in the pond.
Midlands Provincial Police spokesperson, Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko confirmed the development and said she was aged between 18 to 21 years by time of death.
“Zimbabwe Republic Police informs the general public that we are still holding the dead body of a woman believed to have been murdered in Gokwe.
“We thus appeal for the public to help us with information that may help identify the deceased. Those with a missing female relative of approximately 18 to 21 years of age may approach Zimbabwe Republic Police.
“They can alternatively call Detective Constable Madhongo of Criminal Investigations Department Gokwe who is the investigating officer and is contactable on cellphone number 077413893,” said Mahoko.
Circumstances are that the body was discovered floating in a sewer pond in Gokwe on January 9 2024 at about 1800 hours by a villager who was herding cattle.
The case was covered by the media but up to date the body has not been identified as no one came to claim it.
