Samangwaro Chuzu, a Zimbabwean man from Mudzi, recently killed himself by drinking poison after his in-laws demanded that he pays huge lobola (bride price) for their daughter.

The New Zimbabwe reports that police have confirmed the death of Samangwaro Chuzu, 22, of Champion Village in Mudzi.

According to the police, Chuzu had a meeting with his in-laws and an argument followed over non-payment of lobala for his wife whom he married in court.

However the demands by his in-laws did not go well with Chuzu who went on to drink some pesticide.

Chuzu then informed his father, Isiah Chuzu, what had happened on the day and said they would meet in Heaven before he collapsed and died on the spot.

The father then made a report at Nyamapanda police station and the police officers are still carrying out investigations.
