Missing Zimbabwe businessman found in car trunk

Jul 16, 2012 | Sapa-AP | 7 comments

Police in Zimbabwe say a five day hunt for a prominent businessman ended with his bloodied body being found in the trunk of his car with a plastic bag wound around his head.

 We are not used to such cases 

Police official James Sabau said the car was identified in Harare after a massive campaign of fliers pinned on trees and e-mail and media notices posted since Alan Banks, 52, went missing on Wednesday. A murder investigation has been opened, he said.

Sabau said the style of killing was very rare in Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe has no Western-style organized crime, he told reporters.

Banks was seen as a popular figure in the nation's small white community. Relatives told police they knew of no business or private grudges against him.

What a sad story. Mr.Sabau, don't look at West for that killing style.S.A criminals and some whores (like that wife of Mathata Tsedu's son) use such style of killing.

In Zimbobwe the State IS the mafia.

However Robot Mugape prefers dispatching his enemies by throwing their bodies into croc-infested rivers or dams, oh, and you'd be surprized how many cars get stuck by trains at railway crossings with the driver unable to escape. LOL
