A MUTARE man hanged himself on Monday in the eastern border
city over his wife’s alleged infidelity.
Manicaland police spokesperson Inspector Tavhiringwa
Kakohwa confirmed the suicide to NewsDay Weekender yesterday.
The now-deceased Leeroy James Marifiye (27) alleged
committed suicide early in the morning of Monday.
His wife, Shamiso Magosvongo (24) woke up around 3am, only
to find her husband hanging from a roof truss.
Kakohwa said Magosvongo rushed to inform her friend Silva
Maudze (43) who went to report the matter at the Area 3 Dangamvura Complex
Police Base.
Marifiye’s body was taken to Dangamvura Police Station for
post-mortem.
Kakohwa said no suicide note was left and they are yet to
know why he committed suicide, but sources in the neighbourhood told this
publication that the pair had a misunderstanding over Magosvongo’s alleged
infidelity.
One neighbour, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said:
“What I know is that the now-deceased was not happy with his wife whom he
accused of infidelity. Maybe that is the reason why he killed himself,” he
said.
Another neighbour weighed in saying: “The pair had a
misunderstanding, that is what we are aware of so we are positive that led the
husband to kill himself.” Newsday
