Share

A 37 year old man has committed suicide after allegedly consuming beer that had poison.

The uncle to the deceased Bernard Muleya identified the man as Lawrence Siamwenya from Siabunyangu village in chief Sinazongwe area.

Mr. Muleya said the deceased collapsed a few minutes when he entered the Sinazongwe District Agriculture Commercial Show ground arena.

Siamwenya was rushed to Sinazeze clinic were he was pronounced dead.

A check at the clinic by Zambia News and Information Service (ZANIS) found relatives and friends shocked at his death.

Mr. Muleya said he was not aware of the reasons that had led to his nephew’s committing suicide.

He said his nephew did not have any problems at home and had no history of illness.

Police sources who also confirmed the incident said the man is suspected to have drunk poison.

  1. It doesnt make sense to me, how can “man commit sucide after consuming poisoned beer”.?Champita ichisungu limbi mwe…….

  2. Ba Lt, did the man commit suicide intentionally by putting the poison in the beer or he drank the beer not knowing it had poison? Please clarify.

  3. He was pronounced ‘DIED’?? LSktimes journalists need to reread gateway to grade 7 because spelling errors like this are unacceptable. How do you know his beer wasn’t poisoned by someone else?. Jumping to conclusions of suicide just because theres poison is someone’s drink is suspicious. How does someone drink poison then goes to a commercial show, it sounds like the man wanted to have a good time and poisoned that day

  4. It is sad to see such events happening , one may wonder ,if this man really was poisoned and by who . because the family have no money ,a detailed autopsy will not be conducted fully .howevr it is my prayer that family can be at peace and i prayers. let us drink responsibly bane .

  5. This story does not make sence. Did he commit suicide or he drunk poisonous beer whcih let to this death.

  6. Sadly. no memorial for him like Michael Jackson. No autopsy also. Worst still, no Tetamalilo to take him ku manda. Most likely to be wrapped mu mpasa then buried.

  7. #11 I am sure RB will release one of those Hearses to fery him and we will be told “mwa mona nomba the uses of the mandamanda we bought” ha ha ha

  8. LT where are you journalists trained? Please you are humiliating us to the world.Please how can someone who has consumed poisonous liquor commit sucide? LT please have competent Editor.Iam tire of this below par and Not even mediocre reporting.Mutimvesa nsoni!!
    As for the man,to bad cos beer is nice to imbibe but was poisoned by evil people.God will JUDGE them/her/him.

  9. Awe LT sorry.I withdraw my statement on #15 unreservedly.I thought he was coming from some drinking place .Did read in its entirety.

  10. (LT and ZANIS) – who ever wrote this is an off spring of a retard. How can one drink poison beer -then , with out facts call it a suicide. The Publisher is also a Dum Ass. KID’s can you see why you should do Drug, because it can make dum ass like a ZANIS journalists

  11. This is really confusing. Did he put poison mumwangashi or what? The ZANIS reporter must have been thinking in Bemba when writing this story.

  12. that does not make sence.he could have just died from poison than committing sui side or we shall say he is full of nakamoya/mwanja.xoxoxxoxxxoxoxoxoxo

  13. A 37 year old man has committed suicide after allegedly consuming beer that had poison” is very sad and may his soul rest in peace.

    Condolences to his bereaved family. As for “He [Uncle to the deceased] said his nephew did not have any problems at home and had no history of illness” I am just wondering as to whether the deceased was still being being kept by his uncle or parents. Whatever the case, times are hard in Zambia and it is time all Zambians had social and economic independence through a caring GRZ.

    Have a blessed day all.

    2 The 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

  14. Typical Zambian behaviour. LT have silently changed the wording, and, as always no sorry or thank you bloggers for spoting the mistake. Do you think Zambia will develop like this? Nah! As for you retard the article says “He said his nephew did not have any problems at home and had no history of illness”. Why assume he was being kept by his uncle?

  15. So many grey areaz about the story. Reporterz/writerz are known to take pride in what they do, not this mediocrity done here!

  16. #8 I thought it was gateway to grade 5. I can see from your short paragraph that naiwe chalikukosela ichisungu but anyway ni zee maningi. I wonder what beer it was…..castle, mosi, german coffee???? Bushe ya normal???

  17. The report seems to be high too, What are you trying to say? did he kill him self or what. According to the report , the guy took bear and then poison or the bear had poison , which is which.?

  18. What kind of reporting is this? Is it murder or suicide? Make up your mind dear reporter or do we have to guess?
