A 22-YEAR-OLD Selous man has been arrested for allegedly killing his 11-month-old daughter following a dispute with his ex-wife.

In a bid to cover the crime, the suspect hid the body of the child.

In a statement, national police spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, said they were investigating a suspected case of murder in which Panashe Chitendeya, 22, allegedly confessed to killing his daughter at Homedale Farm, Selous, after a domestic dispute with his ex-wife.

“The suspect had visited his ex-wife in a bid to reconcile with her. The body which was allegedly hidden in a bush at the farm has not been found,” said Ass Comm Nyathi.
