Tanzanian commits suicide to escape nagging wife

Wed 24 December, 2003 11:00

 

DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) - A Tanzanian man has killed himself by drinking a chemical used in cattle dips, leaving a suicide note saying it was to escape a nagging wife, police say.

 

The body of the 32-year-old was found in the commercial capital Dar es Salaam on Sunday with the suicide note and a glass containing traces of the chemical, used for killing insects on livestock, regional police commissioner Alfred Tibaigana told Reuters on Wednesday.

 

"I've decided to end my life," Tibaigana quoted the suicide note as saying.

 

"I am fed up with the constant nagging of my first wife."

 

Police did not have any further details about the man's death in the east African country, where polygamy is common.
