A Lilongwe man is in Police custody after surviving a suicide attempt which he made it when his wife denied him sex.

The story is that Haswell Mulonga, 32, found himself horny one afternoon and went to his wife to demand for sex. The wife, however, denied him claiming that she was too busy and the man had to control his sexual appetite until the evening when she would find the space to take him in.

This response infuriated the man and he locked himself up in the bedroom where he placed a rope across his neck to end his life. Fortunately, his wife found him after pushing her way through and helped him survive.

The man is currently in Police custody at Kanengo Police station.
