The body of an identified woman, who is said to have died in December, last year, was found about 300 meters away from the burial site yesterday.
Northwestern Province Police Chief Charles Lungu, who confirmed the incident to ZANIS in Solwezi today, said the body was found with some parts missing.
Mr. Lungu said the missing parts were the head, legs, hands, private parts and intestines.
He said police have since instituted investigations into the matter to ascertain circumstances under which the body could have been exhumed, adding that appropriate action will be taken on anyone found wanting.
The police chief has since warned people to desist from tempering with graves as it was an offence under the penal code.
