A BUSINESSMAN, who had been missing since last week, has been found hanging on a tree close to his farm in Chegutu.
There is suspicion that he could have committed suicide. Acting Provincial Police Spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Effort Chapoto, told H-Metro that the body of businessman, Alfred Mufudzi Gamanya, (60), was found dangling from a tree.
The body was found at his Kilmorac Farm in Chegutu on Saturday — five days after he went missing.
Gamanya was the owner of a night club near Chegutu.
Ass Insp Chapoto said Gamanya received some calls for the police who wanted to interview him on allegations he was buying stolen cattle.
He said Gamanya then disappeared from his farm.
A missing person report was filed with the police on February 3.
“A search was conducted but to no avail,” said Ass Insp Chapoto.
He said on Saturday, at around midday, Learnmore Mugona (32), of Kilmorac Farm, was heading cattle when he discovered a human body hanging from a tree.
He advised the farm manager, Mercy Mupararwa (32), who stays at the same farm.
“Mupararwa, together with other relatives, went to the scene and discovered that it was Gamanya’s body,” said Ass Insp Chapoto.
He said a report was filed at ZRP Chegutu and when police officers arrived the body was in an advanced state of decomposition.
He said investigations are still in progress.
“Police urge members of the public to desist from committing crimes because the wrath of the law will always catch up with them one day.
“In the same vein, we advise the public not to run away from police if you hear an inquiry is being made on them.”The body was found at his Kilmorac Farm in Chegutu on Saturday — five days after he went missing.
