Police in Zimbabwe announced the arrest of Pius Jamba, on suspicion of murdering an opposition activist whose mutilated body was found in a well, three weeks after she was reported missing.
Pius Jamba described as an ex-lover of Moreblessing Ali, an activist close to the opposition party Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) has been arrested by the police.
Police announced the arrest on Twitter:
Mr Jambo, described by the CCC as a supporter of the ruling party, allegedly dragged her out of a bar in May.
The ruling party, Zanu PF, has denied involvement in the killing and asked that police be allowed to do their investigations.
The police previously said they were treating the case as a domestic issue rather than something that was politically motivated.
