A 21-year-old man has committed suicide by throwing himself to a moving a motor vehicle at Ndagoma Village along the M1 Road in Ntcheu district.

Ntcheu Police Station Public Relations Officer Sub Inspector Rabecca Ndiwate, has identified the deceased as Felix Chikhasu.

Ndiwate has said that, Chikhasu, earlier on, narrated to his friends that he went to a herbalist so that he could be assisted to get rich, and when he got there, he was assisted and given some instructions to be followed.

After discovering that he had missed one of the instructions, he decided to take his own life in fear of getting mad as earlier warned by the herbalist.

A day before he threw himself on a moving vehicle, Chikhasu took poison, but was rescued by well-wishers who took him to Ntcheu District Hospital.

“On Saturday, Chikhasu escaped from the hospital and on his way home at Ndagoma, it is reported that he threw himself to a moving vehicle. He was rushed to Ntcheu District Hospital where he died while receiving treatment,” said Ndiwate.
