JOHANNESBURG: Zimbabwe's state-run media say three Finnish nationals and two locals have died in the crash of a small private plane.
The Zimbabwe Herald reports that the plane crashed Friday in Masvingo en route to the popular tourist site of Victoria Falls.
The report cites civil aviation authorities as saying they were trying to determine the cause of the crash.
The report cites a district administrator confirming the five deaths. Roy Hove tells the newspaper the bodies were "decapitated and mangled beyond recognition."
Police reported three deaths and said the plane crashed into a hillside.
