Sex romp death: Rumphi man, 35, dies mid-session at lodge

A 35-year-old man has died after collapsing mid-session with a sex worker at a lodge in Rumphi — in a tragic case that has stunned the local community.

Timothy Mkandawire breathed his last yesterday (Monday) after things took a horrifying turn during his visit to the guest house, according to Rumphi Police spokesperson Noel Kamchenga.

Kamchenga said Mkandawire had booked into the lodge with a woman who works in commercial sex. Mid-way through their encounter, he began struggling to breathe — then suddenly stopped breathing altogether.

It was the woman herself who raised the alarm, frantically alerting the guard and lodge owner, who called police.

Officers arrived to find Mkandawire’s body still in the room.

He was rushed to Rumphi District Hospital, where a postmortem revealed the grim cause: breathing difficulties triggered by dangerously low blood sugar.

Mkandawire hailed from Mputa Village, under Senior Chief Chikulamayembe in Rumphi district.
