Away from the spotlight of major media houses, arrested Guruve murder suspect Anymore Zvitsva has been leading police to several locations where he is alleged to have buried some of his victims. The ongoing indications have resulted in a series of exhumations, leaving villagers and relatives overwhelmed with emotion as they watch him point out the sites with unsettling accuracy.
Last weekend, authorities recovered the remains of Charity Karembera (24) and her four-month-old son, Tendai, on the outskirts of Sahondo Village in the Mavare area, about 30 kilometres south-west of Guruve. The two disappeared on March 25, 2025, while reportedly on their way to the garden.
Villagers expressed shock that Zvitsva could still identify the shallow burial sites nearly 10 months later. The graves — located roughly 100 metres apart — were less than 300 metres from the family’s homestead.
Later, Zvitsva also led investigators to two additional graves situated on opposite sides of a bridge at Kambani Farm near Chihwe, around 45 kilometres from Guruve centre along the Guruve–Raffingora Highway.
Zvitsva, whose leg was injured during his arrest, is giving directions from a stretcher carried by security officers. Police sources believe some of the recovered victims may not be included in the 19 deaths publicly confirmed at the time of his arrest, suggesting the death toll could be higher.
Investigations, indications, and exhumations are still ongoing as authorities work to uncover the full extent of the case.
Zvitsva is scheduled to appear in court on January 19 for official indictment.
