A tragic incident occurred in Thandanani Village, Ward 1 under Chief Ndube in Filabusi, where a 9-year-old boy took his own life on Saturday last week.
The young boy reportedly hanged himself using an electric
cable tied to a pole.
At the time of the incident, the child was unsupervised by
parents or guardians. It is reported that the boy and his younger sibling were
left alone while their parents went to fetch water.
Upon learning of the situation from the deceased’s younger
brother, the parents attempted to disconnect the cable, but unfortunately, the
boy had already passed away.
Matabeleland South Provincial Police Spokesperson,
Inspector Loveness Mangena, confirmed the incident when contacted for comment,
stating, “We have such a case and investigations are ongoing.” CITE
