News / National’Eat my wife, I kill myself’by Staff reporter11 mins ago |25ViewsShock and grief have gripped residents of Alpha Stands in Beitbridge after a 42-year-old man was found hanging from the roof trusses of his rented room, leaving behind a chilling handwritten message accusing his wife of infidelity.The deceased, Marume Chinembiri, reportedly took his own life after discovering alleged love messages between his wife of 18 years, Magret Manyuchi, and another man.The cryptic message, scrawled in Shona on the wall moments before his death, read:”Ndabata message mufoni yemudzimai wangu nemunhu waanotorana naye saka ndatya kuti ndingasekwa nevanhu.”(“I saw messages in my wife’s phone with the man she’s cheating with, and I’m afraid of being mocked.”)Chinembiri’s lifeless body was discovered by his niece, Catherine Chinembiri (30), on the afternoon of October 23, 2025.Officer Commanding Beitbridge District, Chief Superintendent Ncube, confirmed the incident, saying police found the deceased hanging from a brown belt tied to roof trusses, with the buckle fastened to a wire.
