Robert Kanyuchi was left stunned when his dog brought home a human head, which it dropped at his feet.
The villager had been reported missing two months earlier.
The community is still reeling in shock.
Sekuru Kanyuchi advised the family of the missing elderly man to come and identify his remains.
Esma Matewa, 50, confirmed that the head belonged to his grandfather, Akim Nyanga Murembeni, 80, who had been missing since June 16 this year.
The villagers then embarked on a search, tracing the dog’s path, and found the additional remains of Murembeni in a state of advanced decomposition.
The police were promptly informed and officers attended the scene, transporting the remains to Rusape General Hospital, for a post-mortem examination.
Acting Manicaland police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka, confirmed the incident, adding that a full-scale investigation has been launched to determine the circumstances surrounding Murembeni’s death.
“Murembeni left home on June 16, 2025, and never returned.
“On June 23, 2025 Murembeni’s granddaughter Esma Matewa (50), of Makwanya Village Chief Tandi, reported Murembeni as a missing person at Rusape Central Police Station.
“On August 16, 2025 at around 6am, Robert Tandi Kanyuchi, of Sirewo Village, under Chief Tandi, was at his home when he noticed his dog carrying a human skull.
“He informed Esma who came and positively identified the head as that of Murembeni.
“Kanyuchi informed other villagers and they conducted a search. They then discovered his other remains, which were in the bush, in an advanced state of decomposition.
“Esma reported the matter to Rusape Police Station and police attended the scene. Remains were conveyed to Rusape General Hospital for postmortem.
“Investigations are underway,” said Assistant Inspector Chinyoka.
