Tragedy struck in Bulawayo’s Njube suburb when a 29-year-old man named Bigboy Sibeleki was found hanging from the roof trusses in his bedroom on Sunday evening.
The distressing scene was discovered by his cousin, who stumbled upon Sibeleki’s lifeless body suspended by an electrical cable.
According to available information, Sibeleki was left at home by his 63-year-old aunt on October 22 around 11 am. Later that evening, around 8 pm, the aunt returned home accompanied by her daughter. It was when the daughter went to greet Sibeleki in his room that she made the shocking and heartbreaking discovery — his lifeless body hanging from the roof truss.
The family promptly reported the incident to the police, who confirmed the tragic occurrence. Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube expressed condolences and emphasized the importance of seeking counselling when faced with life’s challenges. He urged the public to reach out for support rather than resorting to such tragic measures.
