A man from Victoria Falls committed suicide after allegedly finding out that a 6 year old boy who he had thought was his son, was not his.
Thembelani Nyathi, 33, had an argument with his wife Thobekile Moyo, 30, on Saturday when she allegedly told him in anger that the boy was not his.
Residents found his body hanging from a tree with a strand of wire on the neck on Tuesday afternoon in a bush near Masue River in Victoria Falls.
Police officer commanding Victoria Falls District Chief Superintendent Jairos Chiwona confirmed that the man hanged himself after a domestic argument.
Moyo denied that her husband killed himself over their son's paternity but alleges that Nyathi was drinking heavily and had become violent towards her and the children.
Mehluli Moyo, in whose house the couple stayed, said the couple had marital problems.
