The body of a Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party supporter kidnapped days after fuel protests in January has turned up at a mortuary in Chitungwiza.<\/p>\n
Blessing Toronga had been missing since January 24 when he was reportedly abducted from Glen Norah C Shopping Centre in Harare.<\/p>\n
The assailants were driving in a white Foton Tunland without number plates.<\/p>\n
The late Toronga\u2019s uncle, Abel Toronga, said that they found the body in an advanced state of decomposition at the Chitungizwa Hospital mortuary on Monday this week. Said Toronga:<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t know who killed my brother\u2019s son, but we have been all over looking for him. It really consumed our lives. We are now preparing to bury him.<\/p>\n
A few days after Toronga\u2019s abduction, the MDC issued a statement in a bid to know his whereabouts:<\/p>\n
MDC News Alert: MDC member Blessing Toronga was yesterday afternoon abducted near Masimbi in Glen Norah by people riding an unmarked white Foton, his whereabouts are unknown. Any information leading to his location is priceless.<\/p>\n
