Man found with human head, private parts Says wanted to sell to a local businessma­n BODY PARTS IN A BAG

armpit,” said Mr Ndlovu.

He said his cousin blocked him from entering the kitchen hut, which made him more curious.

“I then forced my way in and came face-to-face with the greatest horror of my life. I was greeted by a bearded human head which was on top of a bloodied sack and a bloodied satchel was on its side. I blindly stumbled out of the house and ran away,” said Mr Ndlovu.

He said Moyo pursued him, threatenin­g to kill him if he told anyone about the human body parts.

Mr Ndlovu said he outpaced his cousin, who fled from the homestead.

“I still can’t believe what I saw. I told my grandmothe­r and other villagers. Muchengeti Mazondo, one of the villagers, called Guyu Police Station and reported the incident,” he said.

Moyo, Mr Ndlovu said, was apprehende­d by villagers at Garanyemba Business Centre, who handed him over to the police.

Mr Ndlovu said the experience had traumatise­d him and he was having nightmares.

“It’s haunting me. I didn’t suspect my cousin could do such a thing,” he said.

Mr Ndlovu said Moyo told the police that he did not kill the person but found him dead at a dumpsite in Colleen Bawn.

“He said when he saw the body while herding cattle, he thought of a certain businessma­n in West Nicholson who once told him he wanted a human head and testicles. He said he just harvested the parts from the body,” he said.

Yesterday, Moyo led police to a dumpsite in Colleen Bawn where he allegedly said he had left the mutilated body in a shallow grave.

Detectives recovered the headless body and conveyed it to Gwanda Provincial Hospital mortuary for postmortem. — @richardmup­onde.
