{{In Zimbabwe, 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.}} <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
They also discovered a spoor which they followed leading to Nyanguhwe Mountains where they found the lower half of a woman.<\/p>\n
Acting Mashonaland West police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Ian Kohwera confirmed the incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvestigations are under way to establish the identity of the woman,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said the game scouts found a passport \u2014 registration number AN605793 \u2014 bearing the name Simbisai Machakwa (37) of Gokwe in the handbag.<\/p>\n
However, the bearer of the passport, Machakwa, advised the police that she was alive.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 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,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Asst Insp Kohwera said three men attacked and robbed her of her purse. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have not yet established how that handbag and passport ended up in Chalala and on the scene of a lion attack. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are still to unpack the mystery of the identity of the woman attacked by the lions,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
The remainder of the body was taken to Bumi Hills Police Post and a Karoi magistrate waived post-mortem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
