HARARE – The search for 38-year-old woman who went missing on May 24, ended in heartbreak on Saturday after she was found dead in a deserted plot in Beatrice.
Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) insist that their party member was abducted by alleged Zanu PF thugs.
However, Police details who recovered her mutilated remains in Chitungwiza following a search party immediately attributed the cause of death to be domestic violence.
“The background of matter is that on the 24th of May 2022 at around 2000 hours the now deceased Moreblessing Ali and the complainant Kirina Mayironi NR59-064625D-59 both of Nyatsime location, Beatrice and employed by Chitungwiza Municipality as police officers were drinking beer at Chibhanguza Shopping Centre,” police said in a memo.

Meanwhile, it is further alleged that Moreblessing Ali was approached by one only identified as Pias Jamba of plot 321 Dunnotar farm Beatrice. Jamba accused Moreblessing Ali that her dog was disturbing him.”
“The now deceased ignored Jamba and it did not go well with him and drew a catapult from his back pocket and mistakenly struck Kirina Mayironi on her chin with an unknown object.
“Kirina Mayironi ran back into the bar to gain refuge and saw Jamba dragging Moreblessing Ali away. Kirina Mayironi was taken home by one Washington Mutsviri of Nyatsime location. Washington Mutsviri is said to have returned at Chibhanguza with efforts to take home Moreblessing Ali but could not locate her.
