A headteacher who suffered broken legs in a road accident has hanged himself after being discharged from a hospital.

In an interview with Malawi24, Dowa police spokesperson Richard Kaponda identified the headteacher as Briay Mughogho who was teaching at Mpalankhwali Primary School in Dowa.

According to Kaponda, the teacher who did not leave a suicide note was involved in a road accident prior to the suicide and all his two legs were broken.

“He was admitted to Dowa District Hospital and later discharged from the health facility. He went to his home village with Plaster of Paris (POP) on both legs,” Kaponda said.

The headteacher was later left in his house alone when the relatives went out for other duties.

“When they returned, they saw the headteacher’s body dangling to the roof of his house after he hanged himself using a shoelace,” Kaponda said.

Postmortem conducted at Dowa District Hospital indicated that the death was due to hypoxia, secondary to strangulation.

The deceased hailed from Missi village, Traditional Authority Msakambewa in Dowa district.

  24. I think the problem is the one who discharged him,,,maybe what was documented in his health passport during discharging zinamuopsya and counseling inavuta, but thats funny anyway RIP

    2. When someone is discharged in a hospital no matter a condition was but it means wachira or kukadikilira Ku mudzi anyway maybe panali zina zomwe amaganiza poti anthu timaganiza mosiyana and sitikudziwa kt discharge yake inali iti, but to kill yourself thats a sin

    3. Thts a sin indeed as written in10 commndments of God tht we shall not commit suicide bt any way thts how he fill its btter for him.

    1. Indeed how can someone with broken legs manage to hang himself let alone with shoelaces to the roof top?
      This reporting is vague
