Married Zimbabwean Policeman commits suicide after being dumped by girlfriend

A Zimbabwean police officer,
identified as Constable Marapira,
has hung himself after being
dumped by his girl friend. Marapira
sent a WhatsApp message to his
girlfriend Clarice Sagiya, on
Wednesday night, directing her to
where to find his body. According
to reports, the victim, who was
stationed at Masvingo Rural Police
Station in Zimbabwe; said he
funded Sagiya’s education, noting
that she is a final year trainee
teacher at Morgenster Teacher’s
College.
It was revealed that this incident
followed after Clarice’s decision to
dump him on claims that she
couldn’t be with a police officer
anymore as he wouldn’t afford her
upkeep. The officer responded by
killing himself a few metres off the
Mvuma-Gweru Road on Wednesday
night.
Reports also revealed that Marapira
sent message about his intended
suicide at about 21:59PM to Miss
Sagiya’s Econet line. The message
read: “Vanhu vasanetseke kutsvaga
body yangu. Mukasvika paMvuma
vanotena ne Gweru road less than a
kilometre pane mota pa side pe road
chisango to the left (don’t bother
yourselves looking for my body.
When you get to Mvuma, turn
towards Gweru. Less than a
kilometre away, there is a car by the
road side to the left,” the victim
wrote.
At about 12 minutes later that night,
the victim sent a second message
which read;
“ “Ndafira Clarice
Sagiya, meaning; (I died
because of Clarice Sagiya).”
Miss Sagiya supposedly took her
phone with the messages to a police
station, and they headed to the
location where the victim had hung
himself.
Meanwhile, reports say that Cst
Marapira’s family suspects that the
victim was killed. Efforts to get a
comment from Miss Sagiya were
fruitless as a man kept answering
her phone and saying he was far
from where she was, reports say.
However, a Sergeant named, Cripen
Gwashu at the Masvingo police
station said they had not yet
confirmed the matter; “we’re still
dealing with hearsay and are
investigating the true nature of what
happened. At the moment I can’t
comment,” he said.
The current suicide case came in
barely two days after a senior
officer at Bulawayo’s Westgate
Police Station was suspected to have
committed suicide by shooting
himself. Chief Inspector Edgar Dube
(50), the Officer-in-Charge of the
Police Protection Unit at Westgate,
used a service pistol to shoot himself
on Tuesday morning. Reports say.
In his own case, he didn’t leave a
suicide note behind, rather a Bible,
opened to Romans Chapter Two, was
found beside his body.
The first verse reads:
‘ “You, therefore, have no
excuse, you who pass
judgment on someone else,
for at whatever point you
judge another, you are
condemning yourself,
because you who pass
judgment do the same
things,” reports say.
