HARARE
–
A

made
a
grim
discovery
after
finding
the
remains
of
a
new-born
baby
in
Chitungwiza’s
Zengeza
suburb,
police
said.
Police
have
arrested
Monica
Siziba,
21,
on
a
charge
of
infanticide
amid
suspicions
she
killed
her
baby.
National
police
spokesman
Commissioner
Paul
Nyathi
said:
“Siziba
allegedly
gave
birth
to
a
baby
boy
on
May
28,
2025,
and
buried
the
baby
in
a
shallow
pit
to
conceal
the
birth
at
a
house
in
Zengeza
4.
“The
offence
came
to
light
after
the
remains
were
found
by
a

was
repairing
the
drainage
system
at
the
house.”
