Mine workers recently stumbled upon a skull, human bones, one complete AK47 rifle, a broken AK47 rifle and one FN round, bringing to six the number of human remains discovered so far at the mine which was re-opened several years ago.
Mashonaland West police spokesperson Inspector Clemence Mabgweazara confirmed the discovery, adding that more remains were expected to surface as mine operations continue.
“We are getting human remains and ammunition from the mine and we are still carrying out investigations into the matter,” he said.
