Police in Mzuzu city have expressed shock over increased incidences of suicide due to petty issues in the city.
According to Public Relations Officer for Mzuzu Police, Martin Bwanali, they have recorded four cases of sudden deaths in the past two weeks, three in the first eight days of August alone. Of the four, two deaths were by hanging and two were caused by taking beer on an empty stomach.
In one of the cases, Wilson Pinifolo, 42, of Ndunde village, Traditional Authority Njema in Mulanje hanged himself for unknown reasons on August 5 at Kazando area.
Pinifolo was working for Paul Msozi and after getting his July salary he disappeared and his body was found hanging the following morning.
On August 4, Chiukepo Mhone, 28, of Zamtuwa Nyirenda village in Traditional Authority Kampingo Sibande in Mzimba died at Sonda location in Mzuzu city after hanging himself to the roof of his house using mosquito net.
The bone of contention was the revelation made by his wife that the second born child in the family did not belong to him.
Due to the revelation the family separated. Mhone went to stay at his home where he hanged himself upon arrival. His body was found hanging by his sister.
On August 5 another man died suddenly after taking beer on an empty stomach at Ekwendeni. The deceased was identified as 65 year-old Victor Chisale who hailed from Botolo village in area of traditional authority Chikumbu in Mulanje district.
As if those are not enough, last month on the night of 25th July 2016 an unidentified man collapsed after taking too much beer without eating. He was pronounced dead upon reaching Mzuzu Central Hospital.
In all the deaths no foul play was suspected but Bwanali advised people not to opt for suicide as a solution to their problems in life.
“Committing suicide is not a solution as the tendency brings another problem to children left behind. People are called upon to seek counselling from relevant stakeholders on how to manage stress,” said Bwanali.

State House sources have released more names of Ugandan assassins that outgoing President Edgar Lungu has brought into the country to target opposition leaders such as the UPND President Hakainde Hichilema and his running mate Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba (GBM).
These are the mercenaries that Lungu wants to use and cause bloodshed in the country during the voting and counting process of elections and the Zambian Watchdog would like to challenge the security wings on the existence of the mercenary group.
These snipers from Uganda are Brown Kuruzima, James Bukoroka, Katgoste Owen, Emmanuel Owen Dala, Patrick and David, though they are using Zambian identity cards and fake names at the moment.
These assassins left Uganda on 25th July for South Africa entered Zimbabwe the following day on 26th July. They entered Zambia on 27th July through Livingstone border using a brand new Toyota Land Cruiser white in colour registration number BAC 2713 that was disguised with a label AU Observer Mission.
The assassins were also wearing AU Observer mission regalia and spent a night in Monze at a named Lodge where they met with a brother to one of the UPND aspiring candidates who was not adopted.
They entered Lusaka and met outgoing President Edgar Lungu with facilitation from Lungu’s Special Assistant for Corruption Kaizer Zulu.
This group was later linked up with Max Chongo and taken to Eastern Province with the mission of killing the Independent candidate JJ Banda.
They were also awaiting for the arrival of UPND President Hakainde Hichilema who was scheduled to hold rallies in Kaumbwe and Nyimba constituencies which were later cancelled.
It is possible that some of those who are actually arrested and denied bail in Petauke now maybe Ugandan assassins who were hired by Dora Siliya through Lungu and Keizer Zulu.
There has so far been pressure to have them released but Petauke residents are up in arms demanding for justice and ready to protest.
Yesterday, the Zambian Watchdog revealed the Ugandan mercenary group led by Chris Rugari who is staying right inside State House.
Others are Moses Okere, Richard Mbabazi, Brain Mugisha, Victor Otti, Mugyenyi, Musaazi Joseph, Mugabi Isaac, Musiime, Aine, Ayebale James, Mujuni, Muwonge Robert.
Some of these people are residing at a house in Chilenje behind a club called “Another Mikes Pub” and being financed by State House accountant Chileshe Kachela Mubanga.
The Watchdog will later today release the video of how this notorious Ugandan killing machine killed Ugandan citizens during that country’s shum elections and now Lungu wants to use it against Zambians citizens.
Part of this group has since been given Zambian police uniforms together with some trained PF thugs that have been given guns.
