A man from Mutasa District was m_rdered last week in cold bl0od in a suspected r!tual k!lling. According to his uncle, the individual left home to buy airtime at the shops and never returned. He said the man went m!ssing for five days, and his b0dy was later found in a river with m!ssing priv@te p@rts.
Speaking on one of the prominent radio stations, the uncle noted that the man was mentally ill and he left a family. He also mentioned that they were called by the residents of the village when the man was found so that they could identify if it was their relative. The uncle expressed how h_rtful and h0rrible it was to discover that their relative had been m!ssing for days and he was de@d.
Meanwhile, the issue of r!tual m_rder is on the rise in the country as many incidents involving people going m!ssing and later being found with m!ssing b0dy parts are alarming. In this case, the man reportedly had his butt0cks, and priv@te p@rts sliced with a sharp object, and his head was be@ten severely.
