Elsewhere, a 31 year old woman from Thyolo has died after allegedly committing suicide over family disputes.

Thyolo Police officer in Charge, Deputy Commissioner, Tereza Nankhuni confirmed the development, saying  the deceased has been quarreling with her husband over undisclosed family disputes for some time.

“The incident took place on September 15 at around 6 O’clock in the evening, when Derrick Mpwilikiti (32), a husband to the deceased returned home. After arriving home, he did not get a response from his wife Violet despite several attempts as he tried to call her,” she said.

She said Derrick then suspected that something might have gone wrong and because of that he alerted the Village Chairman, who came to break the house with him.

“Upon forcibly breaking the house door, they saw Violet hanging in the bedroom. It is believed that she locked up the room and hanged herself to the roof of the bedroom with a wire,” she added.

The body of the deceased was taken to Thyolo District Hospital where post mortem results showed that she died due to suffocation.

Violet Mpwilikiti came from Mtulo village, Traditional Authority Ngolingoliwa in the district.
