Econet Security Guard Girlfriend Found Dead

A ZRP cop is seen, gloved all over, while pulling away the female lover’s body from the house.

Staff Reporter| Local villagers were left in a state of shock on Tuesday morning when an Econet Security guard and his girlfriend were found dead near Gutu Mission.

The two bodies were found in an advanced state of decomposition near an Econet Booster adjacent to the Reformed Church in Zimbabwe (RCZ) and their Gutu Mission.

The bodies were found on the floor, in a room which probably served as their bedroom.

Masvingo Police Spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the incident saying he was waiting for further details on the matter.

Police in Gutu were alerted by local villagers and they collected the bodies which were found infested with maggots on Wednesday.

The police said the names would be released after the completion of the investigations on the cause of the mysterious deaths.

“A small boy detected a bad smell from the room and alerted other villagers,” Police in Gutu said.

There is wide speculation on the mysterious incident with some villagers claiming the two were bitten by a snake while other sources say the guard killed his girlfriend and committed suicide.

The villagers also suggested that the two could have been killed by the woman’s husband. ZimEye will avail the details as events unravel.
