I am a concerned family friend writing to ask for your help in sharing this long story to get justice for the late Precious.

This family recently lost Precious Tariro Chimhundu (30) who was an accountant at the Ministry of Health and Child Care Head office. Precious went missing on the 20th of May 2026 only to be found dead in a room of a lodge called Tynwald Gardens & Lodges on the 25th of May 2026. When she was found, her body was already in the state of decomposing.

The person who kiIIed her wanted to make the family believe that Precious committed suicid€ by leaving two small and empty containers of a smelly chemical in her handbag and her phone was also tempered with. However, the post-mortem examination revealed that she died from a head injury and bleeding inside the skull, indicating that she suffered a severe blow or trauma to the head. The doctor explained there was never a sign of poisoning in her body as all her organs , the kidney, liver, heart, intestines were normal suggesting of 99.9% of a hidden murd€r. 

There are a lot of red flags that suggest the Tynwald Gardens & Lodges was involved in covering up this murd€r of our relative. For instance: 

 1. The body was removed from the scene before the family arrived to identify it. The family was only told to go to the mortuary, as all the identification procedures had already been done by the CID.

2. Precious is said to have booked the room for only one day, so why did they keep a dead body in the room for five days? What about the check-out process and cleaning the room? Since this is a business, were they not planning to let other customers use that room?

3. There are still no answers about who paid for the room, how much was paid, and where the receipt is. When the family asked, they were told that some customers do not want receipts.

4. There are many CCTV cameras in Tynwald Gardens’ compound, including two that were directly facing the room. However, when asked for the footage, the family was told that those cameras were not working and that only the reception camera was functional.

5. It seems like too much of a coincidence that the person was given the last room, which faces the perimeter wall, and then this incident happened.

6. When the family went to inspect the room on the day the body was found, they were told that the door had been forced open. However, it looked like the lock had already been tampered with and fixed, suggesting that someone had already worked on the key before they arrived.

7. Up to now, there has been no meaningful progress in the investigation. They family is beginning to suspect that the police may have been influenced by the lodge because they have failed to provide answers to the questions they have and there were even talks about closing the case.

Another thing is that on 26 May 2026, while the family was scanning the deceased’s phone, they noticed it had been tampered with. History was deleted on YouTube, and WhatsApp backup on email was deleted, leaving only suicidaI searches and funeral songs. They noticed there was a chat saved as “LAWRENCE” which had been cleared on 20 May 2026, the day she disappeared. Police asked who Lawrence was, but no one knew him, and then called him asking about Precious. He said he did not know her.

Sometime later Lawrence called on the deceased’s phone and he was looking for Precious. The family responded by asking how he knew Precious and he explained that he knew her from the Ministry of Health and Child Care and usually got help from her at her workplace. But initially, when police called, he had indicated that he did not know Precious. The family also asked why, if it was work-related, was he calling during late hours. He replied that he wanted to ask her something since he intended to visit the Ministry of Health and Child Care the following day. He was then informed that she had passed away. The family then noted some calls from Lawrence in the Precious' call list which indicated they have been communicating from January 2026.

After the burial, the family contacted the investigating officer for the way forward. He indicated he had transferred the case to CID Homicide. After a week, the investigating officer called the family and told them that he wanted to close the docket. The family then asked why the docket had to be closed before any arrest. He said he had no leads in the case and that CID said there was no case, even though the postmortem report indicates that Precious was murder€d. The family said they asked why there were no leads and what about Lawrence. The police then requested for Lawrence’s number and later communicated that Lawrence was from Home Affairs.

The family was then contacted by another police officer from Dzivarasekwa Police station asking the family to come and perform a ritual for their deceased at the lodge citing the lodge now want to clean and use the room. The family declined the request since nothing is known about this murd€r. There has been no communication or update regarding the case. 

We are requesting the police to continue investigating this matter thoroughly. We also appeal to anyone who may have helpful information to come forward or contact the admin. We want justice for Precious and hope that those

responsible are held accountable.Thank you for bringing this up. We used to work naye and we were all shocked by her sudden death and we are still in disbelief as her colleagues that Precious is no more, she was a very quiet lady. May her soul continue to rest in peace.Lawrence, police and lodge worker's they're all involved in this case so I advise you to visit ZRP PGHQ and explain... I'm sure they'll assist you.
