A 30-year-old man in Zambia’s capital of Lusaka has been found brutally murdered with his genitals ripped off.

According to Mwebantu, the man was found at a local dam where he was discovered half dressed with the trousers and underwear taken off.

Deputy Police Spokesperson Rae Hamoonga has reported that the deceased left home on Friday around 21:30 and went to attend a funeral at his sister’s place in Chunga and was only discovered dead this morning.

“The scene was visited and the deceased was found half dressed, trousers and pant removed. Upon inspecting the body the whole skin covering the genitals was removed using a suspected sharp instrument which was not found at the scene,” said Hamoonga.

Hamoonga said the body has since been picked and deposited at UTH mortuary awaiting postmortem.
