Following the gruesome murder of Moreblessing Ali, who went missing on May 24 this year, police authoritiesd have released a memo on her killing.

The now deceased was allegedly abducted by her ex-boyfriend Pius Jamba in Chitungwiza and when she went missing, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) issued a statement saying she was a victim of a relationship gone sour and her disappearance had nothing to do with politics.

But last Saturday, Moreblessing’s body was retrieved from a well at the family homestead of a known Chitungwiza Zanu PF member Simbarashe Chisango in Manyame. Jamba is said to be related to Chisango and is also a Zanu PF member.

Reports say Ali’s body was cut into two and her intestines were put in a plastic bag.
