Police in Bulawayo are appealing to members of the public for information that may assist in the identification of the body of a male adult who was found hanging near Khami water works in Umguza.

In a statement, the police said the deceased used a white cloth to hang himself from a tree branch in a busy area in the Khami works and his body was now in a decomposing state.

“The now deceased was wearing a pair of black formal trousers, a black belt, a light green shirt, and a navy-blue jacket and was barefooted. There was a back satchel on the ground with a pair of white all-star tennis shoes inside and the body was in an advanced state of decomposition,” said Bulawayo provincial spokesperson Insp Abednico Ncube.

He appealed to members of the public with a missing relative who matches the description to visit any nearest police station.

Sources say the body is at United Bulawayo Hospital morgue where it is being kept.
