Farai Dziva|A man from Chipinge committed suicide over his wife’s infidelity.

According to state media reports, Ben Muyambo (44), of Jongwe village, Chipinge, was found hanging from a tree near his homestead after an altercation with his wife over alleged infidelity.

Police in Manicaland confirmed the incident.

According to The Herald, Muyambo confronted his wife Patricia Simango over adultery allegations.

Simango then denied having an extra-marital affair, and instead counter-accused Muyambo of being jealous and a control freak.

It is alleged that Muyambo could not take it and left home to visit his cousin, Taurai Mashava, in Kaguvi village in the same area.

He wanted to seek counselling following the fallout between him and his wife.

Mashava failed to provide a lasting solution to Muyambo’s problems.

Villagers found Muyambo’s body in the bush and rushed to inform Mashava.
