HARARE – Police have arrested a 28-year-old man after discovering human skulls and other remains at his home following an initial arrest at a mine in Bindura.
Police confirmed the arrest of Alfred Chinjiva, 28, who was first apprehended on February 2, 2026, for possession of articles of criminal use after he was found carrying a dummy pistol at a mine in Bindura.
Following the arrest, detectives conducted a search at Chinjiva’s residence in Chipandura Park, where they made a gruesome discovery of suspected human remains.
Police recovered two human skulls, one of which had two cuts at the back and was wrapped in a yellow cloth, while the other was wrapped in a red cloth.
Officers also found a single bone wrapped in a red cloth, two buckets containing bones wrapped in green, yellow, black and blue cloths, as well as three plastic containers filled with soil mixed with suspected human bones and hair.
Police said investigations are ongoing to establish the origin of the remains and whether any criminal offences, including murder or grave desecration, were committed.
“More details will be released as investigations progress,” national police spokesman Commissioner Paul Nyathi said.
