Mugabe's body leaves Singapore funeral parlor

SINGAPORE: A hearse carrying the body of Zimbabwe's ex-president Robert Mugabe left a funeral parlor in Singapore on Wednesday bound for an airport from where it will be flown back home for burial.

Mugabe, a guerrilla leader who swept to power after Zimbabwe's independence from Britain and went on to rule for 37 years until he was ousted in 2017, died on Friday, aged 95.
