The body of an unidentified man was discovered inside the boot of a Range Rover parked at a car yard in Kinondoni, Dar es Salaam.

The vehicle, stationed among other cars displayed for sale, raised concerns after it remained unmoved for three days.

How did residents discover body?

Residents alerted the police to the suspicious vehicle, prompting officers to respond to the scene.

Police reportedly spent over 30 minutes attempting to break into the vehicle.

Due to the overpowering stench emanating from the car, officers had to spray the area to reduce the smell before gaining access.

Eyewitnesses told Mwananchi that they initially thought the vehicle was part of the regular stock of cars for sale.

Investigations launched into John Doe's body

However, suspicions grew after it remained parked in the same spot for days.

An eyewitness, Hamisi Hamadi, noted that the smell intensified in the afternoon, indicating something was wrong.

“At first, we thought a cat had died, but when houseflies began hovering over the car, we knew something was off,” Hamadi explained.

Police have since removed the body from the scene, launching an investigation into the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death.

Further details regarding the victim's identity or cause of death remain unclear at the time of reporting.
