By A Correspondent- A Madziwa man committed suicide by drinking poison after he suspected his wife of cheating.

Liam Musona (78) of Mugwiza village, Madziwa took his life by drinking a pesticide after suspecting his wife Miriam Nyarutsanga of having an extramarital affair.

His body was discovered by his nephew Bayanai Mazowe (34) who filed a police report.

The police recovered a bottle of pesticide on him.

Acting Mashonaland Central police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Naison Dhliwayo confirmed the case and urged people to respect human life.

“It is unacceptable to kill one self no matter what, life we live is non renewable therefore there is no need for experimentation. Once gone you are gone forever, hence people should respect the sanctity of life,” Dhliwayo said.
