A couple who had been missing since Friday, October 30 of this year, was found dead in the forests of Jamah village, in the Montepuez district, Cabo Delgado province.
According to preliminary information, the couple went missing after informing family members that they were heading to their farm to carry out clearing work in preparation for the upcoming 2026/2027 agricultural season.
According to accounts from people close to the victims, the couple prepared for the farming activity and began their journey by motorcycle. However, along the way, the motorcycle broke down and they were unable to fix it. Faced with the situation, they asked an acquaintance to take the vehicle back, and the two of them continued the journey on foot.
"From that moment until the night of October 30, the couple's phones were ringing, but no one was answering, a situation that left the family worried," reported sources close to the family.
Meanwhile, on the morning of Monday, November 9, 2026, the bodies of the two victims were found in the forests of Jamah village in an advanced state of decomposition.
According to preliminary information, the bodies showed signs of possible physical assault. The situation was verified at the scene by the National Criminal Investigation Service (SERNIC), in coordination with family members and local residents who were present.
It is worth noting that similar cases were also recorded at the beginning of October in the Kwe-Kwe Administrative Post, and on Friday the 6th of the same month, both in the Balama district.
The circumstances surrounding the deaths are expected to be clarified by the competent authorities as part of their investigations. (Abel Buruhane)
