Ex- Chipata Mayor Jealous Phiri

Former Chipata Mayor Jealous Phiri has committed suicide.

Eastern Province Police Chief Alex Chilufya confirmed the death of Mr. Phiri 66 in a statement.

Mr. Chilufya said Mr. Phiri ended his life after taking Doom pesticide.

He said the Former Civic Leader was facing several cases of obtaining money by false pretences and was on police bond in one of the cases.

“He was found dead in his car this morning around 05:00 hours.

Mr Chilufya said he was found on the driver’s seat in his car with foam coming out of his nostrils and an empty container of doom pesticides was found besides the body.

“He parked his car in Chipata primary school football ground before taking his life. His body is in Chipata General Hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem,” he said.

  1. people are committing suicide because of the pf lies.under pf regime a person can only survive through theft and corruption(more money in the pockets of thieves), otherwise you can die of starvation…lol

    • The conclusions are just too quick. In investigations we dont rule things out so fast. Someone can murder someone and still make it look like a suicide.

  2. So so sad at such an elderly age to kill yourself when young people should be looking up to you for guidance and show them the right way of doing things.

  3. Leave stealing to the bembas if you can’t live with the consequences of a DEAL GONE BAD. Being the natural thieves that the are, they always die with a NO even when caught red handed.

    My northern cousins would go like “I was rich even before I came into govt because I used to deal with the mines. I am so stinking rick I do fly to UK for a cup of tea every morning. ” Deflecting attention from the matter at hand, so so easily.

    Apologies if this line sounds familiar.

    Anyhow, RIP my brother. I would have wound up the same sad way being as honest as my Eastern kindred – a distinguishing feature that marks out Easterners as best security guards. Malonda wa ku Chipata kuti aikata nabawishi pa gate!

  4. When writing an article about sucide especially in this manner the individial has taken their life you dont specifically name the product used. Ethics please!!

    • I cannot put Edgar far off attempting ……… HH has shown he is a toughened character came out of Prison hardly scathed but ba Lungu Katwishi even just a simple Hangover made him collapse he had to be flown to RSA Sure sure hehehehe!

    • Iwe Mina Kikikikikikikiki! @shamless ka Lungu kuti kanyololoka ukukabika munjema! Ba HH nabo he is just exaggerating things. Mukobeko wasn’t hell

  5. He must have been in a really dark place to have taken his own life . I wish he would have talked to someone for support and advice, its really sad that this man had to end his life in this way ….that’s if it was a suicide. My heart goes out to his family …condolences to you and may God grant you comfort at this very difficult time. People please do not politicize this sad news for you dont know the whole truth surrounding his death. Have some empathy ,you perfect and yet hardened people.

  6. He was someone’s father,brother, husband, uncle, friend, grandfather and the list goes on….respect the dead and the family. So hardened to the point where you could yourselves kill !!! What’s happened to Zambian hearts ???
