Malawi College of Accountancy student commits suicide

A Malawi College of Accountancy (MCA) student on Wednesday 15th March, 2017 committed suicide in Ndirande Township, Blantyre.

Suicide by Hanging

The 22-year-old Daniel Munthali was found hanging at around 6 O’clock in the evening.

Blantyre Police Public Relations Officer, Elizabeth Divala said on the material day the deceased was driving a family car registration number SA6814, a Toyota Sprinter Vintage and whilst reversing, he hit a wall and he was afraid to face his parents including his step mother.

“Daniel Munthali committed suicide after damaging a family car instead of apologizing to his parents.

“However, the matter was brought to the police by the deceased father, Griffin Munthali after finding his son dead with a suicide note asking for forgiveness from the father,” said Divala.

According to Divala, results of postmortem conducted on the deceased showed that death was due to suffocation.

The deceased was staying with his parents in Ndirande Township but hailed from Pyolanzimbi Village, Traditional Authority (T/A) Chikulamayembe in Rumphi district.

Kodi makolo, what is it you used to do to this child whenever akalakwa to see an even worse punishment than death? . . . You see, it all boils down to the kind of punishment we mete out on our kids when they wrong us. Kodi inu . . . . . . What other punishment does a typical Malawian parent (or teacher) know of, besides kukwapula? . . . How many times have we seen or heard that a child has had both hands burned (by parents) for picking pots?… Read more »

Action speaks louder than words. And loudest has it spoken here. The lad may have been staying in an environment worse than hail no wonder he chose death rather than facing the parents. Titengelepo phunziro apa makolo.
