A man of Rufunsa aged 42 has committed sĻ
-ic*-de after his mother-in-law confronted him at his house over a balance of bride price amounting to K4,500 out of K10,000 he was charged in 2014.
Chansi Ngoma is alleged to have t*ken his lifĪµ in his bedroom while his mother-in-law waited outside the house under the belief that he had gone to get the money.
But after noticing that he had taken long to come out of the bedroom, his wife, Maria Ngoma, followed him and found him g@sping for air as he was trying to h*ng himself after he had earlier taken an 0verd0se of assorted Ī¼edicines.
According to his wifeās relative, the victim only managed to pay K5,500 of the bride price, which he was charged in 2014.
Bridget Bowa, sister of the victimās mother-in-law, said on the fateful day she accompanied her sister to the dĪµceasedās house because she wanted to go and demand for the bride price balance.
āWhile we were still talking, our son-in-law, who had been quiet the whole time, just went to his bedroom. We thought he went to get the money, but after about 15 minutes, his wife followed him and found him h*nging to the roof g*sping for air with a lot of mĪµdicine and empty packs on the floor. We r-shed him to the hospital and he d*ed there,ā she said.
