Kafue Man Commits Suicide After Failing To Pay K24 Debt

A 31-year-old man of C7 in Kafue Estates has committed suicide after failing to pay back a debt of K24 he owed a named man of the same area.
The deceased’s elder brother, Muyuni Nyambe, said Lwakala Nyambe hanged himself in his bedroom. Close friends and family members disclosed that Nyambe was on Thursday asked to pay the K24 he owed a certain man by 18:00 hours, failing which he would be taken to police, but he opted to take his own life after he failed to find K24.
“Lwakala owed a certain man some money…about K24 and he was told to pay back the money by 18:00 hours yesterday (Thursday) and after failing to find the K24, he opted to commit suicide by hanging himself in his bedroom.
As a family, we are so touched because the amount of money that led to him taking his life is too small because had he told one of us, we would have helped him pay off the debt,” said a family member.
