Man Attempts Suicide After Being Sued For Divorce

A 33 year old man of Mwansabombwe district on Tuesday allegedly attempted to kill himself after his wife sued him for divorce.
Luapula Province police commissioner Malcolm Mulenga confirmed the development in a statement.
Mulenga said Pakstone Pule of Chintala village in senior chief Mwata Kazembe’s area attempted to commit suicide by hanging himself using a curtain after a quarrel with his wife, Memory Chanda, 29.
“She sued him at Kazembe Local Court. This was after the wife discovered that her husband wants to marry a second wife identified as Josephine, 28, of the same area, whom she believed he has even paid dowry for,” explained Mulenga.
Mulenga alleged that Pule was drunk at the time he attempted to commit suicide, adding that he was rescued by community members.
“The incident took place at the suspect’s house,” said Mulenga.
