Chinhoyi Bureau
GAME scouts on patrol in the Bumi Hills area of Kariba District last week stumbled upon the lower torso of a woman suspected to have been killed by lions. Members of the Bumi Hills anti-poaching unit were on patrol near the Katete Bridge along the Siakobvu-Chalala Road when they saw a brown handbag and blood near a bus stop.
They also discovered a spoor which they followed leading to Nyanguhwe Mountains where they found the lower half of a woman.
Acting Mashonaland West police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Ian Kohwera confirmed the incident.
“Investigations are under way to establish the identity of the woman,” he said.
He said the game scouts found a passport — registration number AN605793 — bearing the name Simbisai Machakwa (37) of Gokwe in the handbag.
However, the bearer of the passport, Machakwa, advised the police that she was alive.
“In a puzzling development the woman we thought had been killed by the lions has called the police indicating that she was robbed of her purse with the passport in Gokwe,” he said.
Asst Insp Kohwera said three men attacked and robbed her of her purse.
“We have not yet established how that handbag and passport ended up in Chalala and on the scene of a lion attack.
“We are still to unpack the mystery of the identity of the woman attacked by the lions,” he said.
The remainder of the body was taken to Bumi Hills Police Post and a Karoi magistrate waived post-mortem.

Wouldn't be impossible for Simbisai Machakwa to be accused of witchcraft and stoned or burnt to death ..... shocker
