Mystery Surrounds Birchenough Bridge Death as Man Found Dead After Sexual Encounter
In a shocking incident that has left the community in disbelief, a male adult was discovered dead under mysterious circumstances near the Save River. Reports suggest that a sexual encounter may have led to his untimely demise, sparking an investigation by the Zimbabwe Republic Police into the unusual sequence of events surrounding his death.
According to a police memo released on the 25th of February 2024, the informant stumbled upon the lifeless body at around 1500 hours while en route to his garden. Upon returning to the same location at 1800 hours, the body remained on the ground, showing no signs of life. The Birchenough Bridge police post was alerted around 1830 hours, prompting authorities to quickly attend the scene for further investigation.
The deceased, a male adult whose identity remains undisclosed, was found lying face down with his grey shorts halfway lifted. His attire included a black vest, grey shorts with the label “Lakers 23,” a yellow floral shirt, a blue pant, and white shoes. A black wallet containing US$1, ZWL$1,100, a brown bazooka radio, and a blue towel were discovered at the scene. Additionally, the deceased had a black power bank and an H mobile cellphone in his right pocket.
Initial investigations revealed that the deceased had encountered Gracious Priscah Maruta, a 17-year-old resident of Kona clinic village Chief Musikavanhu, Chipinge. Maruta was searching for her boyfriend, Webster Nkomonde, at Birchenough Bridge and sought assistance from the deceased, who worked as a tout at Musharu, Birchenough Bridge Business Centre.
Maruta shared her transportation challenges with the deceased, who then offered to pay her bus fare in exchange for sexual favors. The deceased paid three dollars to Peter Tafirenyika, the probox driver, for the agreed-upon transaction. The duo boarded the probox and engaged in sexual intercourse near Birchenough Bridge Hotel, during which the deceased collapsed and became unconscious.
In a state of panic, Maruta attempted to revive the man but received no response. Fearing the consequences, she left the unconscious individual and returned to Musharu Bus Terminus, where she later met her boyfriend.
Further investigation at the scene revealed no foreign objects, and Maruta, the last person to see the deceased alive, was brought in for questioning. She cooperated with the police, leading them to the location where the sexual encounter took place, confirming the events that transpired before the man’s collapse.
The deceased’s body is currently at Birchenough Bridge Hospital Mortuary, as authorities continue their inquiries into the circumstances surrounding this perplexing incident. The community eagerly awaits updates as the police work to unravel the mystery behind this untimely death.
As the investigation unfolds, the community is left with more questions than answers about what truly happened that led to the tragic death of the male adult near the Save River. Stay tuned for more updates as authorities delve deeper into this shocking case.
