A BINGA gold panner is battling for life in hospital with a deep cut on the neck following a failed suicide attempt in which he tried to cut his own throat after beheading his wife who had ended their relationship.
Lastmore Ngwenya (24) and Muchite Munkuli (23) both of Chamateme village under Chief Siachilaba had been married for an undisclosed period before Munkuli fell sick in October last year.
She consulted a self-proclaimed prophet who told her she had been bewitched by her husband’s father.
Munkuli left her matrimonial home to live with her parents.
The case involving the couple’s separation was heard by Chief Siachilaba on Christmas Eve.
