Semen on dead mana��s privates raises eyebrows

THIS could make a manuscript for a Danielle Steel novel because the mere mention of a man found dead and naked in a bushy area with semen all over his private parts sends chills down the spine.

Silvanus Muchorani (63) of Lwendulu Village in Hwange was found stark naked in a bush, near Cinderella Water tank, by a passerby, one NgonidzasheA� Nkomo of Cinderella suburb on a Sunday morning a fortnight ago.

Now residents suspect he could have been killed while having sex and therea��s strong word that he was having an affair with an unnamed married woman.

Matabeleland North police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Eglon Nkala confirmed the incident that police are treating as a�?suspected murder with evidence of foul play.a�?

a�?The body was ferried to Hwange Colliery Hospital mortuary for post mortem,a�? said Asst Insp Nkala.

Muchorani was employed by Zimnat Life Assurance as an agent in Hwange.

A resident, Matewu Sibanda said Muchorania��s body was found by Nkomo on his way to church.

a�?He stumbled on the naked body on his way to church for a morning prayer session in a bushy area near Cinderella Water tank. The body lay on top of a long-sleeved pinkish shirt. He had dry semen on his genitals with froth coming out of his mouth.

a�?He had injuries on the hands and black socks were also found near the deceaseda��s body,a�? he said.

Sibanda said it is also suspected that Muchorani was robbed of some groceries he had purchased because a receipt was found on him.

a�?A receipt of goods worth $35 from OK Supermarket Hwange was found in his shirt pocket but nothing on the list was found on him. Some money was also found in the same shirt pocket,a�? he said.

Residents said they suspect Muchorani could have been strangled although no struggle marks were observed at the scene.

It is alleged that Muchorania��s wife revealed that her husband had left home the previous morning going to work.

a�?He neither returned home nor communicated with his wife during that day.a�?

His cellphone was not recovered.
