Airport Authority Seizes South-African Bound Plane With Dead Body And Millions In Cash

BBC reports that a South-African bound plane which was carrying a dead body and millions of South African Rand has been impounded by Zimbabwe.

The plane was seized after blood was seen dripping from it during a refueling stop. Zimbabwe's Civil Aviation Authority have handed over to the police to investigate.

Police chief, David Chawota, said the cargo on the US-owned plane belonged to the South African Reserve Bank.

"The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) is aware of an aircraft carrying a SARB consignment that stopped in Harare and was detained following the discovery of an unidentified body that is presumed to be a stowaway on the aircraft."

The plane had been travelling from Germany to South Africa and belonged to Florida-based Western Global Airlines, Zimbabwean officials said.
