A Zimbabwean national reportedly died by suicide yesterday by deliberately crashing his car into an oncoming truck in Keetmanshoop. Police indicated that the man’s fatal actions followed an alleged incident in which he slit his partner’s throat during an argument in the vehicle. Police Deputy Commissioner Nikodemus Mbango confirmed that the stabbing occurred in the car during a reportedly heated dispute. “In an attempt to save her, he drove to the hospital but midway realised that she was not breathing. He then rammed the car into an oncoming truck, killing them instantly.” The three occupants of the truck were left unscathed.-Rita Kakelo
