THE Mbizo 19 community in Kwekwe is in shock after residents this week stumbled upon a stray dog feasting on the remains of a new-born baby.
Residents told Southern Eye that the chilling discovery was made near a church under construction.
Circumstances surrounding the baby’s abandonment are unclear, and it remains unknown whether the it was dead or alive when it was dumped.
“The police took the remains of the baby to the mortuary and authorities are working to uncover the details behind this devastating situation,” said a resident.
Recently, there was a public outcry over dogs that attacked human beings after several cases were reported of pitbulls that mauled people.
Midlands provincial police spokesperson Emmanuel Mahoko could not be reached for comment.
