A 23-year-old man, identified as Leman Major, has died by suicide in Mtandire, Lilongwe, reportedly due to ongoing family issues.

According to Sergeant Glory Kondowe Ngwira, Deputy Spokesperson for Lingadzi Police, the incident occurred in the early hours of the morning.

Preliminary reports indicate that Major had recently separated from his wife, who was living alone in Mtandire. On the night before the incident, he visited her residence in an attempt to apologize and reconcile.

However, the woman refused to let him in and locked the door. Major then went to spend the night at a nearby relative’s house.

Tragically, at around 3 a.m., he was found hanging on the porch of his wife’s house.

Authorities have launched further investigations into the incident.
