Zimbabwe: Man commits suicide after wife drives new car into house, killing his parents
A man, identified as Delani Ngwenya, reportedly committed suicide on Sunday, after his wife drove into a building during a driving lesson.
Ngwenya, an administrator with the Roman Catholic-run in the Kana Mission hospital, Midlands area of Zimbabwe, was said to have bought a new car and in his attempt to teach his wife how to drive, things went horribly wrong.
Ngwenya’s wife reportedly stepped on the accelerator rather than the brakes and rammed into a house where her mother-in-law, father-in-law and a visitor, identified as Mrs Chamunorwa, were sitting.
The two women reportedly died on the spot while the man died much later after he was rushed to a Harare hospital in critical condition.
Ngwenya, who couldn’t bear the heartache as a result of the incident, reportedly committed suicide.
A Zimbabwean publication, Bulawayo24, quoted a source as saying, “It is said that Delani recently bought a car and was teaching his wife to drive and upon reaching his home yesterday afternoon she mistakenly stepped on the accelerator instead of the the brakes thereby driving straight into the house where Delani’s mother, a visitor and his father were sitting.
“Mrs Ngwenya, Delani’s mother and Mrs Chamunorwa the visitor died on the spot and Delani could not stomach the loss thus he hanged himself.”
