It is said that Reaction Unit South was contacted at about 09:41 after the man’s corrugated iron home burst into flames with him inside.
“RUSA members were immediately dispatched to the scene and, on arrival, discovered the home completely guttered.” “The charred remains of the self-employed tiler were discovered in the debris,” said RUSA.
According to the deceased’s intoxicated girlfriend, the deceased bought a large amount of meat and alcohol to host a braai on Friday afternoon (02 September 2022). He partied throughout the night with members of his community and his girlfriend.
On Saturday morning, when he returned home and found his girlfriend in bed, he told her that he loved her and asked her to leave the house as he wanted to end his life.
The deceased then forced her out of the house and locked the door. Moments later, the house burst into flames and the deceased were heard screaming for several minutes before the structure collapsed.
The motive of the suicide is still unknown.
