A 42-year-old man of Maloni Compound in Lusaka West identified as Elvin Miyanda Mwanza has committed suicide after he allegedly assaulted his wife.
Zambia Police spokesperson Esther Katongo said the deceased was reported to have assaulted his 37-year-old wife and a report was made at Matero Police Station.
Mrs. Katongo said the suspect who is now deceased was apprehended from Lusaka’s Avondale by officers from Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe Police Station and was transferred to Matero Police where the report was made.
She explained that after disembarking from a Police motor vehicle, the suspect threw himself in front of a rear tyre of a Volvo truck registration number AJE 2866 which was pulling out of Matero Police Station being driven by Chansa Kalutwa aged 29 years.
Mrs. Katongo said the suspect sustained injuries on the head and the body was taken to UTH mortuary and postmortem has been conducted today.
She said an inquiry file has been opened and statements have been recorded from the wife of the deceased who was present at the time the incident happened, also from the driver of the truck, officers and other independent witnesses who were present.
He is useless timid MAN!!!
That was just an accident, Zambians commit suicide by hanging or drink boom.
The wife katwishi …
Suicide by throwing “himself in front of a rear tyre of a Volvo truck”. Its a first. I wonder who is incompetently narrating the story, the police or the reporter? When a nation doesn’t pay attention to its education everthing becomes difficult to do. Writing a police report or writing a story becomes impossible!
Does not look like suicide???
Story made up
These assault issues are becoming a problem. Women can do anything, insult you, provoke you knowing that you will not do anything because she will accuse you of assault. With the police, no explanations and you go in. Is this fair to innocent men who are now victims of wife-blackmail. Then she does what she wants. Families are breaking up because of that. This law needs to be revisited.
