By Simba Chikanza | ZimEye is investigating the case of a woman who was found murdered in Zengeza early this morning, a few hours after after her arrest for breaching curfew regulations. She had been arrested for violating the curfew regulations which state that everyone is supposed to be indoors by 6pm.

The victim was coming from her sister’s house, and was arrested, just after 6pm. Many people have been struggling to keep up with the regulations due to transportation constraints.

She had her phone and handbag and a paper bag with some mango fruit.

The Police who arrested her are from Zengeza, close to Zimpost, near Emmanuel Makandiwa’s church. (Town centre)

From there she was discovered in the morning at the roadside. Her body was found cut in pieces. Some witnesses are saying she was raped because her body was found in a stripped state.

According to eye witnesses, other ladies arrested with the victim, who with her at the time, allege that they had escorted her from the police station at a round midnight…The victim was saying she is afraid since it was at 12am. Along the way, the ladies told her they are now leaving her having taken her far enough. (She was walking towards the Aquatic Complex, and the other ladies were walking in the opposite direction).

A source told ZimEye: If the people who attacked her were thieves, how could they at the same time leave her with her wallet and handbag?

Meanwhile, many in the area say they witnessed an unusual incident- a group of police officers roaming around the area at around 5am.

The husband, identified as Frank Milton, woke up in the morning looking for his wife only to find out that she had been murdered.

A comment from the police was not available at the time of writing.
