By A Correspondent- Tapiwa Makore (senior) who was arrested for the murder of his nephew Tapiwa Makore (7) reportedly connived with a mortuary attendant to freeze his own son to death in order to harvest his body parts, a close family relative has revealed.

In an interview on Sis Melly’s diaries, the source said:

“The arrested uncle reportedly connived with a mortuary attendant and asked him to refridgerate his own son and told him that he would collect body parts when that child died.

The child was only saved when the mortuary attendants changed shifts and the child was asked who had brought him to the mortuary and he revealed that it was his father.

Melly : did the mother know about all this?

Whistleblower: Yes she knew but it was kept as a family secret. We are only hearing about it now. I am not sure she was part of it. I really do not know.”

The female whistleblower communicated on Sunday afternoon, that the arrested Murehwa man, Mr Tapiwa Makore’s wife, wanted to kidnap her child while both were traveling from South Africa, 11 months ago.

Mr Makore is the uncle who was arrested after his brother’s son, he shares the same name with, Tapiwa junior, was found decapitated, and other body parts missing last week.

The allegation was made by the mother, name withheld, during a discussion programme with Sis Melly on her Diaries.

This has raised belief that the suspect’s wife is an accomplice in other killings.

A police SOS has since been raised. ZimEye is making a follow up investigation with the police HQ on Sunday.
