Police in Bulawayo are investigating a case of sudden death after a 25-year-old man from Magwegwe, Bulawayo, chased his wife from the bedroom before hanging himself.

In a statement, Bulawayo provincial police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube said Agreement Wellington Nyangali had had a misunderstanding with his wife the night before.

He said Nyangali had not slept at home the previous night.

“On November 16 at 10am, Nyangali and his wife had a misunderstanding over the issue of him not sleeping at home the previous night. The next day he went to their bedroom and told his wife not to come in because he was changing,” he said.

Ncube said the woman stayed outside until she received a call from the now deceased brother asking for his whereabouts.

“She then went inside to check and discovered that Nyangali had hanged herself from a rafter with a rope. She informed the brother of the deceased who rushed and found his brother’s body hanging from the rafter,” Ncube said.

A report was taken and the body was taken to the Mpilo Hospital mortuary for post-mortem.

Ncube urged the public to share their problems and stop taking their own lives.

“We urge the public to share their problems with others and involve third parties in misunderstandings, rather than resorting to taking their own lives,” he said.

The developments come at a time when Bulawayo police recently reported that 21 cases of suicide had been reported in the past month, of which 20 were men and the rest were women.

Bulawayo has recorded 22 cases of suicide by hanging in a short period of time.
