How ‘Sauro’ Killed Homeless People, Cooked And Ate Their Body Parts

Police in Harare have uncovered a horrible trait in Thandolwenkosi Ndlovu also known as Sauro, the homeless man who crashed his victims with stones, cut them open and cooked the body parts for consumption.

Thandolwenkosi Ndlovu’s arrest on Monday brought relief to Hararians as there was panic over suspected ritual murders.

According To Zimbabwe Republic Police Spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Paul Nyathi, Sauro is not necessarily a ritualistic murderer but a cannibal who enjoys killing and eating human flesh.

“The suspect who is believed to be living in the streets would target “street kids” who will be fast asleep and crush them and open the victims’ stomachs to remove genitals and other body parts using empty broken bottles. The suspect would then boil or braai the human parts on an open fire and consume them while in the Harare Central Business District.” Said Inspector Nyathi.

Police linked him to all the five murders that took place between 28 August and 4th of September.

Police have also linked the suspect to a spate of murders that took place in Bulawayo about three years ago. They all showed the same modus Operandi.

“The suspect is also linked to three murder cases committed in Bulawayo in January 2020 where he crushed a victim’s head in Bellevue Suburb using a brick after he found him drunk and asleep in his yard,” said Inspector Nyathi.

“In December 2020, he crushed a victim’s head in Makokoba Suburb after finding him asleep by the roadside. e again crushed another victim’s head using stones at Sekhusile Shopping Centre, Nkulumane after finding him asleep on the pavement. he then fled to Harare.

Sauro is also connected to a robbery case that took place in Milton Park in June 2021.

Sauro Was Not Doing This For Rituals

According to police, there is no evidence that Sauro was doing this for rituals.

“The Zimbabwe Republic police has not found any evidence to link the recent murder cases committed by the suspect yo ritual killings.

“The police assure the public that enquiries are still being conducted to find out the real motive of behind the suspect’s conduct and if he acted alone or not.”

Police have assured the nation they will be providing more details about the horrific murders.
