Masibo said; “The officer had resorted to alcohol abuse after discovering that his wife had been unfaithful to him and it is unfortunate that we lost him through such circumstances.

Journalists were told by neighbors that the deceased had been accusing his wife of adultery, which frequently resulted in physical altercations. a neighbor reported;
“The officer has been having a misunderstanding with his estranged wife for a long time which would often lead to a fistfight. We did not know it would also lead to the man committing suicide.”
