Katongo explains that the deceased sent his children to buy sweets while his wife was still asleep and thereafter locked his wife inside the bedroom where she was sleeping.

She adds that Chisanga then went to his children’s bedroom where he committed suicide by hanging himself on the wall plate.

Katongo explains that his wife was awakened by the loud music and forced the door open after she discovered it was locked from outside and found her husband hanging in the children’s bedroom.

She later alerted the neighbors who assisted to cut the string to help save him as he was found still struggling for breath but he later died.

The body was picked and taken to University Teaching Hospital mortuary.
