Businessman Wicknell Chivayo and his wife Lucy are set to be interred without their heads, as the family has announced. Chivayo's uncle, Herbert Chivayo, made the announcement on Sunday, stating that the couple will be buried together at Glen Forest Cemetery in Harare on Thursday, October 8. The five crash victims, including two pilots and a security officer, were found to be severely burned after the helicopter crashed in misty conditions at Kudenga Farm in Marondera.
Forensic officials initially suspected that recovered remains might have been parts of the victims' heads, but subsequent examination disproved this. Chivayo, a millionaire businessman facing corruption allegations, was returning from his rural home in Chivhu when the helicopter crash occurred. The funeral for one of the pilots, Courage Mutavirwa, took place on Sunday in Chiredzi, while Calvin Soda was buried in Marondera. Security officer Senelisiwe Magagula's burial is scheduled for Monday in Lupane.
