Man commits suicide over wife’s infidelity

By Munyaradzi Musiiwa

A Gweru man allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself from the roof trusses of his house after he discovered his wife’s extra-marital affair.

Acting Midlands police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Ethel Mukwende confirmed the incident which occurred on Wednesday last week when Elda Mufudzi Zekama (38) of Mambo high-density suburb committed suicide. Asst Insp Mukwende could, however, not shed more light on Zekama’s reasons for committing suicide.

“I can confirm that we are investigating a sudden death where a male adult Elda Mufudzi Zekama was found hanging from a roof truss on 12 January at 10 pm at his residence in Mambo. It is suspected that Zekama committed suicide on the night of January 12 and was found the following morning by a neighbour. We are still investigating the matter. We would want to urge the public to always seek counselling or engage significant others whenever they have problems,” she said.

A neighbour who declined to be identified said Zekama committed suicide after discovering his wife’s infidelity. The neighbour said on the fateful day, Zekama returned home from work and found his wife not around. Zekama, the neighbour added, then called his wife intending to ask about her whereabouts and her alleged boyfriend answered the phone.

    He should have just dumped the unfaithful lady and move on with life. He was such a weak character MHSRIEP anyway.

    It’s easier to comment when not the one facing the situation. I suppose kuudza vadikanwi vako your issues zvinobatsira as getting advice on handling the prevailing circumstances might assist ukasazotora your own life.

    Zvakaoma ngatidzidze kutsvaga professional counselling cz taking one’s self is not a solution at all. Kana munhu ahura siya utsvage umwe. Why act as if you only live for your partner, what about the kids. You can’t give up everything, l mean yourself, kids, relatives cz of a mere woman.
