A 41-year-old man, David Simbeye, has been found dead after hanging himself from a tree near his in-laws’ house in Chendo village on August 31, 2025.
Simbeye had reportedly argued with his wife a week before the incident, but the matter had seemed to be resolved.
On the fateful day, Simbeye had gone to watch a football match but later followed his wife to her parents’ house. He then left, appearing to head back home.
Later, a child passing by discovered Simbeye’s body hanging from a tree and reported it to village elders, who identified him.
The police were immediately informed, and a team of officers from Chitipa Police Station and medical staff from Chitipa District Hospital rushed to the scene.
A post-mortem examination confirmed that the cause of death was suffocation secondary to strangulation.
The police in the District are urging the public, especially those with marital problems, to seek counseling and advice from relevant authorities such as Victim Support Unit (VSU) at Chitipa Police Station other than taking their own life .
David Simbeye hailed from Chambo village in the area of Senior Chief Mwaulambia in Chitipa District.
