WATCH: Mt Darwin Man Commits Suicide After Discovering Wife’s Infidelity

Suspicions and Confrontations

The man’s father revealed that his son had been harbouring suspicions about his wife’s fidelity. He had even called for a counselling session involving his son and daughter-in-law, during which the wife admitted her mistake and vowed not to repeat it.

Despite her promises, the man’s suspicions lingered, especially considering their growing family. Initially, he suspected her after they had their first child, but by the time of his death, they had four children. His suspicions were further fueled by rumours and information about his wife’s continuous affairs.

Violent Outbursts and Separation

These suspicions led to violent threats, particularly when the man was intoxicated. On one occasion in December of last year, he even chased his wife with an axe, prompting his father-in-law to intervene and take his daughter back home for her safety.

The couple eventually separated, but the man continued to receive distressing information about his wife’s infidelities. His inability to cope with these revelations and the ongoing emotional turmoil took a heavy toll on him.

The matter was reported to the village headman by the father, who had advised his son to report the matter and confront his wife’s lovers to save his marriage and family.

The Final Act of Desperation

In a final, desperate act, the man used a broken bottle to cut open his stomach and placed his intestines under the bed. Realizing that his death was slow, he then cut his throat, which resulted in his immediate death.

Call for Counselling and Support

This heartbreaking story underscores the critical need for emotional support and counselling in times of distress. The police have urged individuals to seek help and open up about their struggles rather than resorting to drastic measures such as suicide.

It’s a stark reminder of the profound impact that mental health issues can have and the importance of accessible support systems for those in need.
