Forensic examinations suggest the body, which was discovered in Umguza on 29 May, is of a man aged between 25 and 30 years.
Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube confirmed the grisly find in a statement.
“We are investigating a sudden death case of an unknown male adult approximately 25 to 30 years whose skeletal remains were discovered on the 29th of May 2023 in a bushy area in Denver Farm uMguza. The anthropological analysis findings indicated that the death would have occurred a year ago.
