Said Nyathi:<\/p>\n<p>We are still conducting investigations and if any new information comes up, we will let you know.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Sunday Mail<\/b><\/p>\n<p>reported a police source close to the investigation as saying police are eager to interview a woman only identified as Colleta, who was the last person to see Munatsi alive. Said the police officer:<\/p>\n<p>We are still to account and interview the woman who is alleged to have visited the deceased the night before his death.<\/p>\n<p>We are also waiting to receive the report from the Fire Brigade to ascertain the cause of the fire. But so far there is nothing new.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Munatsi family has reportedly commissioned a separate post-mortem examination to discover the cause of death with a South African pathologist.<\/p>\n<p>The family wants to compare their autopsy report with one being undertaken by Government pathologists.<\/p>\n<p>According to a situation report by the Zimbabwe Republic Police on the fire incident and Munatsi\u2019s death:<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 The remains of the deceased were found in a sitting position just beside the tub in the main bedroom with some burns on the hands and legs, he was putting on a red T-shirt and a black pair of shorts which were not burnt\u2026 to suggest that the deceased could have been burnt by the heat of the fire and not direct flames.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
