In a disturbing development, police have apprehended Alfred Chinjiva (28) following the discovery of human skulls and remains at his residence in Chipandura Park, Bindura.
The arrest, initially for possession of articles of criminal use, quickly escalated into a macabre investigation after a search of his home yielded a gruesome collection of human remains.
Chinjiva was first taken into custody on 2 February 2026, after being found with a dummy pistol at a mine in Bindura.
This initial arrest, however, merely scratched the surface of a far more sinister situation.
Following his arrest, law enforcement officers conducted a thorough search of Chinjiva’s Chipandura Park residence.
National Police Spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the horrendous act saying investigations are underway.
“The ZRP confirms the arrest of Alfred Chinjiva (28) for possession of human skulls and remains.
