Man Hangs Himself To The Roof Of His House Following Marital Dispute In Thyolo

A 38 year-old man, Ackim Kajiya, has died after allegedly hanging himself to a roof of his house at Mbalanguzi village in Thyolo over marital issues.

Masambanjati police spokesperson Amos Banda said that Kajiya’s body was found hanging dead at around midday today.

Banda says reports indicate that the deceased had marital misunderstandings with his wife. As such, the wife attempted to commit suicide by taking pesticides before she was saved by relatives.

She was rushed to the hospital for medical attention while unconscious, and her condition is currently fair.

But, when the husband learned about the wife’ suicide attempt, he hanged himself, and post-mortem results showed that he died due to suffocation secondary to strangulation.
