A 68-year-old man has been brutally murdered and buried in a shallow grave in Msoro Chiefdom of Mambwe District.
The victim, Henry Nkhoma was discovered on the morning of August 26th, 2025, after children grazing cattle stumbled upon a human leg protruding from the earth near Mtetezi Stream.
Eastern Province Commanding Officer Robertson Mweemba has told Diamond News that Nkhoma had been reported missing since the evening of August 20th after he was last seen having supper at his younger brother Steven Zulu’s house.
Despite an extensive search by relatives, he failed to return home.
The discovery was made six days later, with the body found in a bent position in what police describe as a hastily dug shallow grave.
The scene was initially identified by the deceased’s brother, Steven Zulu, who was alerted by a neighbour.
Mr. Zulu suspected the remains were those of hisu missing brother but did not disturb the site and immediately reported the matter to the Msoro Police Post, which has now launched a full scale investigation.
No arrests have been made and the motive for the murder remains unknown and the public is being urged to provide any information that could lead to arrests of people involved in this generous crime.
