Chitipa, February 24, mana: A 33-year-old primary school teacher, Station Mbale, from Namatubi Village in the area of Senior Chief Mwabulambya in Chitipa District, on Monday died after hanging himself from the roof of his house.

Spokesperson for Chitipa Police, Sub Inspector Gladwell Simwaka, confirmed the sad news, saying that the deceased left a suicide note citing a family misunderstanding as the reason for his actions.

Simwaka said that postmortem results from Chitipa District Hospital confirmed that death was due to suffocation secondary to strangulation.

“We are urging individuals facing family wrangles and other challenges to seek help from the police victim support unit rather than taking their own life,” Simwaka appealed.
