POLICE in Bulawayo are investigating a suspected murder case in which a 21-year-old Nkulumane woman was found dead without pants in a bushy area in Magwegwe.
According to police sources, the woman identified as Lynda Penhura Ncube was found dead by an unknown person on Sunday, who then called Magwegwe Police Internal Security Intelligence (PISI) office advising them of his finding.
"Tasara Murove (35), a PISI officer was on duty at Magwegwe PISI office on November 23 at 9am, when he received a call from an anonymous person who told him that he had seen a body of a woman under a tree the previous day," a police source said.
"Murove, together with other police officers, went to the scene and found the body of the woman 50 metres away from the main road under a tree covered with tree branches."
The deceased only had a bra on.
"It appears the woman was strangled with a black female legging, which was found still tied around her neck and a white female pant was found a metre away from the woman's body." the source said.
The deceased's friend, who asked not to be named said it appears she was raped before being killed. She left a one-year-old baby.
But the police sources said the matter was being investigated and was being treated as a murder.
