Wicknell Chivayo, a controversial tycoon, and his wife, Lucy Muteke, are to be laid to rest on Thursday at Glen Forest Cemetery in Harare, without their heads, according to a family spokesperson. The couple perished in a helicopter crash on Wednesday while traveling from their rural home in Gandami to Marondera. Their bodies were severely mangled and scattered, with some head pieces missing.
Family spokesperson Hebert Chivayo clarified that no skull fragments were found, only scattered bones, and that the couple will be buried side-by-side, not in the same grave. No body viewing will be held, and the family has invited anyone who wishes to attend the funeral at their home in Gletwin Park, Harare.
