Police in Lusaka have picked up a body of an unidentified man aged between 30 and 35 years in Zingalume compound.

Police spokesperson Esther Katongo says this followed a report which officers on patrol in the area received from one of the Newspaper distributors at about 02:30 hours that he had seen someone being dragged by some people.

Mrs Katongo said when officers followed up the report, they discovered blood on the road and when they followed the traces of blood, they discovered a body of the deceased lying in one of the yards.

She disclosed that the body was found without private parts, with a ripped off stomach and one right ear was cut off.

The body has since been picked up and deposited in UTH mortuary awaiting postmortem and identification.

The police spokesperson has since called upon members of the public who could be missing a relative to visit UTH and help identify the body.

Meanwhile, the police have since urged members of the public to avoid moving unaccompanied in the dark as well as lone areas to avoid falling prey.
