First to be discovered was the body of the female adult while lying in a pool of blood in the middle of the road.While police details were still attending to the female victim, a motorist alerted them of another body that was a few meters away.
The body was about 100 meters away from that of the female victim. The body was positively identified as that of Marume who was last seen by his wife earlier that day while on his way to church.
