Zambian Woman Killed In London By Jealous Ex-Hubby
A LONDON-based Zambian woman has allegedly been killed by her former husband, who later leapt to his death in an apparent suicide.
Suffolk police, who found Oliver Ruse’s body, later discovered that of his ex-wife identified as Deborah Mundia Ruse, 39, at 12:40 hours when they went to her cottage she is believed to have been renting in Suffolk Village, Long Melford.
Mrs Ruse was the older sister to Namasiku Mundia Chileshe, popularly known by her character Tracy Kabanana in the local soap opera, Kabanana.
Mr Ruse, 37, a local butcher, was found dead at the foot of a six-storey car park in Bury St Edmunds around 12.10 hours on Thursday.
Mrs Ruse’s family in Lusaka has confirmed the incident but said they will only issue a statement later as they are also waiting for communication from that country’s authorities over the incident.
According to the Mailonline, the couple is survived by four daughters – aged between eight and 16 – who are currently being looked after by family members.
Mr and Mrs Ruse got married in 1998 but split about two years ago. Mrs Ruse then relocated to Brazil. Companies House files show that she remained a 49 percent shareholder in the family business.
Mailonline reports that Mrs Ruse, who some villagers described as a devout Catholic, returned from Rio de Janeiro two months ago demanding half the business and access to their daughters again.
But Mr Ruse, a devoted husband ,according to his friends, did not like the idea of having her back in their children’s lives although they suspected he was still in love with her.
Mr Ruse was the fifth generation of his family to control the business-Ruse & Son, which was founded by his great-great-grandfather in 1860. He began working there in 1998 and took over from his father in 2007.
He had the custody of his four daughters while his former wife rented a two-bedroom cottage close to the company.
“Oliver was a very gentle man and bent over backwards to please Debbie (Deborah). I don’t know what happened – a breakdown or something. I think he was still in love with her. He didn’t want her to leave him. Everyone’s devastated,” Mr Ruse’s step-mother, Sheelagh, said

Her husband loved her so much and treated her like a princess but she had met another white man through the internet, and left the husband.
One man is not enough for most Zambian women…. the husband was heartbroken.

Zambian people expect too much from women married to white men. To keep up the “good image” one man’s money alone can not please some of these women to stay in a marriage where money is not like sand at the beach. Most of them did not marry for love but money. Only to please fellow Zambians (Leeches).

it is not only from white men, it is happening to blacks as well. we have got plenty of such gold-digging cases in the high courts in Zambia. Guys be careful, I have been a victim of this. All the woman needs is to falsely claim that she was abused and the judgement will go in her favour.

FAMILY BUSINESS ESTABLISHED IN 1860 AND YOU WANT HALF OF IT TO YOURSELF SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU GOT MARRIED TO ONE OF THEM.
THIS LEVEL OF LOVE OF MONEY BEATS MY UNDERSTANDING.

IWE, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. THE WOMAN IS GREEDY. SHE WENT ‘ELOPED’ WITH ANOTHER MAN GOT BROKE AND CAME BACK WITH IDEA OF SHARING WEALTHY. THE MAN KNEW THE BRITISH LAW WAS GOING TO SUPPORT HER TO TAKE HALF THE WEALTH SHE NEVER WORKED FOR INCLUDING THE CHILDREN. THAT’S WHY HE REACTED IN THE MANNER HE DID. THOUGH, HE DID NOT NEED TO.

WRITER, HOW DO YOU KNOW THE HUSBAND WAS JEALOUS? THE HUSBAND APPEARS TO BE LOVING HUSBAND AND FATHER. IT IS MOST LIKELY THAT THE HUSBAND WAS DRIVEN TO LIMITS BY THE BEHAVIOUR OF HIS FORMER WIFE. WOMEN IN THE UK ESPECIALLY AFRICANS THINK THEY CAN EAT WITH BOTH HANDS. I JUST SYMPATHIZE WHAT THE MAN MIGHT HAVE GONE THROUGH TO EVEN REACH THE EXTENT OF KILLING HIMSELF (AND THE WOMAN). MORE SO I SYMPATHIZE WITH THE CHILDREN WHO HAVE LOST A LOVING FATHER. HE SHOULDN’T HAVE GONE TO THE EXTENT OF KILLING HIMSELF (AND HIS FORMER). HE SHOULD HAVE LIVED ON FOR HIS CHILDREN. ANYWAY, THIS IS A COMBINATION OF IMMIGRATION AND FAMILY LAW GONE WRONG IN THE UK.
Bushes wanna be like me, using my name and shit. Be yourself.

May their souls rest in peace. Ala mwema Africans mwalikwata ubututu some of you. You think marrying a white guy eshitu iyo ala bufotini. Tepa jungle apo. Limbi mukokako skin olo nishi? Sometimes it’s good to be humble not walakata pa li money yabene especially umusungu tangasha money. But nashibipa ku bana.
