Inspector James Sabau points to a place where skeletal remains, believed to belong to a child, were found at the Harare Exhibition Park
According to the Zbc News on Monday, remains of a boy child have been discovered at within the Harare Agricultural Show grounds near the City Sports Centre, the ZBC reported.
Also found at the scene was a pair of trousers, a belt, one shoe, a sock and sun glasses.
Officers from the CID homicide department, pathologists and forensic scientists visited the area early this Monday morning and collected the remains for tests.
Harare province police spokesperson, Inspector James Sabau, said the remains were discovered by an employee of the Zimbabwe Agricultural Show Society who wanted to clear the place for agricultural purposes.
It is still not clear whether the boy was murdered at the scene or the remains were brought there later. However, the scene where the remains were discovered is a stone's throw away from the City Sports Centre, raising questions how the body could have decomposed there without people detecting it.
Police say they will work with parents who lost their children in order to positively identify the remains.
Meanwhile, three-year old Given Flint Matapure who went missing during the Harare Agricultural Show in August is yet to be found. The public, police and churches have spoken with one voice condemning the boy's abduction
