A HURUNGWE man committed suicide recently by hanging in his in-law’s hut where he had gone for conciliatory talks with his wife after a domestic dispute.

Stanford Mutenga (42) of Nyamasoka village under Chief Nematombo had a long-standing dispute with his wife, Lydia Banda (43), over conjugal rights, which resulted in a violent confrontation.
The incident occurred in the adjacent Majinjiva Village.

Following the dispute, Banda went to her parent’s home and Mutenga allegedly followed her.
Mashonaland West police spokesperson Inspector Clemence Mabgweazara confirmed the incident, adding that investigations were still underway.
