A BODY of a man was found at Bitumen World Pomona on Friday.

It was taken to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals mortuary for a post-mortem.

Benson Masora (47) was on duty operating a bulldozer at the dumpsite on the day.

While he was levelling a heap of waste, the driver noticed something which appeared to be a human head.

He took a closer look and then noticed a human hand protruding from the waste.

Benson stopped the bulldozer and informed the security guards, Irvine Dzikiti and Christopher Matigiri, to establish if it really was a human body.

Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, confirmed the incident saying a report was filed.

“Police are investigating a suspected murder case where a human body was discovered at a waste in Pomona,” said Insp Chakanza.

“The body was taken to Parirenyatwa Hospital Mortuary for post-mortem,” he said.
