A POLYGAMIST from Binga allegedly committed suicide by
drinking a cotton pesticide after a domestic dispute with his first wife.
Acting Matabeleland North police spokesperson Sergeant
Namatirai Mashona said Fundi Muchimba (43) of Chikuzya village in Lusulu left a
suicide note explaining why he took his own life.
In the note which he left in the second wife, Ms Mary
Mudimba’s bedroom hut, Muchimba allegedly gave directions to where his body
was.
“I can confirm that police attended a scene of sudden death
in Lusulu. On 17 October in Chief Sinamagonde area, Mary Mudimba aged 42 and
second wife to the now deceased, discovered a suicide note in the bedroom hut
where her husband mentioned that a dispute with first wife Ms Gernnet Muleya had
caused him to commit suicide,” said Sgt Mashona.
No details were given about the couple’s dispute. Sgt
Mashona said Muchimba stated in the suicide note that Ms Mudimba should follow
a certain route leading her to the nearby Busi River to find his body.
Ms Mudimba alerted other villagers who made a follow up and
found Muchimba’s body on the edge of Busi River.
Near the body was a 500ml bottle of a cotton pesticide,
police said. A report was made at Lusulu Police Station. Police attended the
scene and no foul play was suspected.
As a result Binga magistrate Mrs Portia Mhlanga-Moyo waived
post-mortem. Chronicle
