Man Burns Himself To Ashes Over Wife’s Alleged Extramarital Affair With Landlord

According to reports, a Zimbabwean man is said to have set himself ablaze over allegations that his wife is having an extramarital affair with their landlord. 

 

It was gathered that the man drenched himself in petrol and set himself on fire.

 

Confirming the incident, Member of Parliament for Silobela, Jonah Nyevera, who revealed that the deceased, Onias Mangena, had nursed suspicions about his wife’s alleged love affair with their landlord, Wilberforce Mukumba, added that on the day of the incident, Mangena had a disagreement with his wife and subsequently locked her and their children inside their rented home before purchasing petrol from a nearby fuel station.

 

Nyevera noted further; “On the day, he had an altercation with his wife and he locked her together with their minor kids in a house. He then went to a nearby garage to buy petrol which he intended to use to douse them in the house.”

Fortunately, neighbors heard the cries of Mangena’s wife and children and intervened, rescuing them before alerting the authorities. Even when the police contacted Mangena, he falsely claimed to be at home.

“Since he had already purchased the petrol, he went into the house where he set himself ablaze. He was reduced to ashes.”
