A policeman set himself on fire, after hacking his wife’s phone and allegedly discovering she had three lovers.
According to iHarare, the Zimbabwean police officer identified as Tinashe Jala worked in the Information and Communication department of the police before his death and had discovered his wife, Sibongile Shana’s affairs with three other men, after he cloned her WhatsApp account using WhatsApp Web.
A source revealed that the young couple were living happily until they had a misunderstanding, where they involved their relatives.
The source said that Jala had committed suicide after seeing his wife off to the bus stop. He reportedly locked himself in his home and set it ablaze.
“Jala discovered through WhatsApp web that Shana was cheating him with three different men and this did not go well with him and I want to believe this is the end result.
Shana is reported to have been refusing to go for HIV tests and contact numbers of the three alleged men were shared with Jala’s brother,” said the source.
“Neighbours tried in vain to gain entry into the locked house after they spotted smoke coming out of the house and women took turns to put out the fire. We are still to get to the bottom of the story.”
Shana reportedly heard about what had happened to her husband but opted to remain at her workplace.
