POLICE in Guruve are investigating the mysterious deaths of a mother and her two children, whose bodies were discovered on Thursday in an advanced state of decomposition.
The bodies of 39-year-old Pamela Chipangura of Zimura Village and her children seven-year-old Kudzai and one-year-five-month-old Tawanda, were found by a cattle herder, Ngonidzashe Munyudzani, who became suspicious after noticing flies around their bedroom window and alerted neighbours.
The door was forced open, and the three were discovered lying face down on the bed with no visible injuries.
Mashonaland Central Police Spokesperson, Inspector Milton Mundembe, confirmed the incident.
“I can confirm a sudden-death case where three family members were found dead in their bedroom hut on 11 December. They were last seen alive on 9 December. Our officers are on the ground, and we await findings from CID forensic scientists and the canine unit,” he said.
Investigations also indicate that the family was last seen with a young girl, identified only as Nokuthula, who is now missing.
Police investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the deaths.
