The executive secretary of Murundi sector, Benon Gashayija has told IGIHE that the man might have committed suicide over strained relations with his wife who had abandoned him.
“We have learnt about the incident in the morning. The man was undergoing broken relationship that he lived with his sister and mother. Her mother told us that the husband has been feeling emotionally isolated. She went on to explain that he returned late last night and sat on the veranda. Her sister asked his brother why he did not enter the house but kept quiet,” he said on Tuesday.
It is said that the man disclosed his situation and told her sister that he wants to stay isolated from others to forget sufferings.
“His sister disclosed it to her mother who did not give it attention. Shortly, the man took his clothes, his bed sheet and stepped out their house. They thought he might be doing it under the influence of alcohol and never reacted until they found him hanging from a tree in the morning,” Gashayija explained.
According to sources, the man has been begging his wife to stay with him but refused to come back.
Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) and other relevant authorities have arrived at the crime scene and took the man’s body at Gahini Hospital for postmortem.
The deceased who was not legally married, leaves a wife and child.
