MISSING GIRL FOUND DEAD, WITHOUT HEAD

MBABANE – Phiwayinkhosi ‘Titi’ Kunene has added to the list of people who first disappear and are later found dead in the country.

The eight-year-old pupil of Phakamani Primary School’s death has left the community of  Hholoshini Chiefdom, which is a few kilometres from the capital city - Mbabane shocked and angry.

Her decomposing corpse was retrieved from a bushy patch beyond the rocky mountain overlooking the deceased’s family homestead.
There were over 70 police officers who were dispatched to comb the area in search of the child who went missing 10 days ago.
Her disappearance has been shrouded in mystery, and the discovery of the dead child occurred on the eve of the funeral of her father, who committed suicide on Thursday by ingesting the deadly weevil tablet.

A crowd of over 100 people comprising police officers and shattered community members cascaded at the Kunene family just after the search.
Police had searched an area that had not been visited during the previous search sessions.

“Her body was starting to decompose when she was found and her head had just been removed from the body apparently by dogs. It was difficult to see if her body was mutilated, strangled or what,” confided one eyewitness.

Given the nature of the matter and the investigation thereon, the family said they had been warned by the police not to say anything on the matter until after the post mortem set for Wednesday.

Notable among the group of police officers at the scene was Mbabane Police Station Desk Officer Solomon Mavuso. 
The body of the child had been taken to the Mbabane Government Hospital Mortuary by officers from the Scenes of Crime.
Police Information and Communications Officer Superintendent Khulani Mamba confirmed the matter yesterday.
