A 27-year-old Mufulira nurse has committed suicide over K22 000 debt which he had with a business.
According to Zambia365, before his suicide, he asked if someone could bail him out the debt.
He leaves behind a wife and a 4-month-old son.
BELOW IS WHAT HE WROTE TO ZAMBIA365:
“Good morning adim; Whether you choose to keep my id hidden or not is up to you.
I SAVE LIVES FOR A LIVING AND I’M KINDLY ASKING IF ANYONE CAN SAVE MINE NOW.
I’m a male nurse aged 27 years, married, with one child(son, 4 months old). I’m coming out here in the open because I don’t want my son to have a thought of me as a coward who chickened out of his life at only 4 months old. I’ve had my successes and I’ve faced my failures, I’ve made mistakes but I don’t want to quit on life this way.
I work hard it’s just unfortunate how I’ve fallen into such a dilemma. I fear I might not make it to Xmas tomorrow unless someone comes to my aid. I’m currently owning a total of K22,100 to very serious businessmen and there’s no other around this one unless someone can come to my aid ? because the pressure is too much. Life is worth living if you have something to live for. I owe my son and wife my life.”
