A MAN from Bulawayo committed suicide by shooting himself
in the head with a pistol for yet unclear reasons.
Mr Dominic Magava (59), a divorcee who lived with his
elderly mother in Woodville suburb, was found dead inside his car yesterday
morning.
Relatives suspect he shot himself on Thursday at around
8PM. Mr Magava’s younger brother discovered the body and alerted the police.
He allegedly shot himself under the chin and the bullet
went through his head, damaging the skull in the process.
Bulawayo Metropolitan province police spokesperson
Inspector Precious Simango confirmed the incident.
“I can confirm that we received a report of sudden death by
shooting of a 59-year-old man. The deceased was seen by his younger brother
seated on the driver’s side of his car and there was a revolver in between his
thighs.
“The deceased had gunshot wounds on the chin and head and
as police we are still investigating so that we are able to establish
circumstances leading to his death,” she said.
The revolver believed to have been used in committing the
alleged suicide was registered under Mr Magava’s name.
Insp Simango said the body was taken to the United Bulawayo
Hospitals (UBH) for a postmortem.
