Man kills himself after dispute with wife

Share

A 38- year old Livingstone resident yesterday died after shooting himself with a shotgun following a domestic dispute with his wife.

Emmanuel Ngobola of house number 3000, Dambwa North Extension, died around 22:00 hours after shooting himself through the neck.

Southern Province Police Commanding Officer, Lemmy Kajoba, confirmed the death of Ngobola to ZANIS in Livingstone today.

Mr. Kajoba said investigations had been instituted to ascertain circumstances that prompted Ngobola to shoot himself.

However, sources close to the deceased alleged that a few days ago, Ngobola underwent an HIV test and results were positive.

The sources claimed that Ngobola was in denial over his HIV status and picked a quarrel with his wife when she advised him to start taking Anti Retroviral Drugs (ARVs).

Ngobola’s body is currently lying in Batoka Hospital mortuary.

  1. this is happening because of the MMD policies if they gave jobs to the prostitutes the man would not have contracted hiv…..rb kuyabebele

  2. #2 lady gaga
    Prostitutes are nolonger the drivers of new HIV infections.’Regular people’ like church members, bloggers etc are the new drivers.Infact research has shown that only a meagre 3% of tested HIV+ zambians are prostitutes.The question is, who are the 97%.

  3. Yaba. Its only good that he didnt kill his wife before killing himself. But why did he go for testing if he was such a coward.

  4. This lady gaga is very stupid and foolish, she blames government for every thing even when she fails an exam she would still blame government, she fails to build a latrine at her place she blames government, she fails to buy mealie meal she blames government, some one kills him self over marital dispute she still blames government, wake up girl, you are a shame

    AMK
