A Pastor of Valley of Hope Ministry in Lusaka’s Kabanana Township, Amos Chisanga has committed suicide by hanging himself in his children’s bedroom using cross belts.
Police Spokesperson Esther Katongo says Pastor Chisanga aged 30 killed himself on 25th October,2018 at about 08:30 hours. Ms Katongo says brief information received is that the deceased was accused of having raped his 22-year-old maid.
She says on the material day at about 08:00 hours, the deceased sent his children to buy sweets while his wife was still asleep and that immediately the children left, he locked his wife inside the bedroom where she was sleeping, and went to his children’s bedroom where he committed suicide by hanging himself on the wall plate.
Ms Katongo states that the wife was awakened by the loud music and forced the door open after she discovered that she was locked in from outside and found her husband hanging in the children’s bedroom.
She says the wife then alerted the neighbors who assisted to cut the string to help save him as he was found still gasping for breath, but later died.
