The lady whose boyfriend committed suicide at her doorstep
following a dispute, has broken her silence giving a detailed account of what
transpired on the night.
It is suspected that Byron Nyevera hanged himself at his
lover, Nothando Hlongwane’s gate in Mbizo 8 in Kwekwe and his body was found on
Monday morning.
While the family accepted the news of Byron taking his own
life with a pinch of salt, they said they were not ruling out foul play.
Hlongwane who has been seeing the deceased for more than a year, said on the
night, the two had an argument after he received a call from another girl.
“He visited at my friend’s place in Mbizo 8 where I am
currently staying. He received a call from a girl called Ivy who asked him to
visit her.
This angered me as he had the audacity to talk to another
girl in my presence,” revealed Hlongwane.
Out of anger, she then ordered Byron to leave the house and
go to where he was being called.
“He begged me to stay but I refused. He told me he would
rather die as he loved me but I just thought he was joking. Because I was
angry, I continued chucking him out of the house,” she said, fighting back
tears.
Byron sent messages to Hlongwane informing her that he was
hanging himself, but she didn’t buy it.
“He started sending messages threatening to hang himself.
He told me he loved me so much but what I had done to him had left him with no
option.
I slept hoping that by the next day I would have recovered
but little did I know that my Byron would be no more,” further narrated
Hlongwane.
Asked if she regretted causing Byron’s death, Hlongwane
said: “I loved him, I wish I could turn back the hands of time. People always
have squabbles but I never knew it would come to this. I was so jealous and I
didn’t want to see him with another lady so naturally I was angered.”
She said it was unfortunate that the Nyevera family were
angry at her and for that reason she was not attending her lover’s burial.
“It’s unfortunate that the family jumped to conclusions and
blamed me for everything. No one gave me the opportunity to give my side of the
story.
I would have loved to attend his burial but under the
circumstances I can’t,” she said.
