According to police and local residents, the girl went missing on May 24 after being sent to a nearby shop. Her body was discovered the following day, naked and bearing signs of abuse, including a deep cut to the throat, in a dam located in the Shobe area of Munyaka.
Her mother identified the body, which was later taken to the Engineer Hospital mortuary for a postmortem examination.
Upon visiting the scene, police discovered a possible crime scene in a house roughly 100 meters from the dam. The house, used as a store, along with an outdoor toilet on the premises, drew attention after investigators found traces of blood inside one of the rooms. In the toilet, they recovered pieces of clothing, including part of a scarf the girl was last seen wearing.
The motive for the killing remains unclear, but investigations are ongoing.
