Man Accused of Impregnating a Married Woman Commits Suicide

A Zambian man in Kitwe who was taken to court for allegedly impregnating someone’s wife seems to have taken the most extreme measure to avoid the consequences of his conduct.

Gift Bwalya was found dead two hours before he was scheduled to learn his comeuppance at the Bulangililo local court on Thursday afternoon.

Bwalya, 29, was taken before a local court in Bulangililo township on the Thursday morning and was found with a case to answer, and judgment was expected to take place at 14:00 hours, the same day.

He however did not leave behind a suicide note for clear explanation of his suicide action.
