Senior citizen commits suicide over funeral policy debt

A 65-YEAR-OLD Guruve man committed suicide after feeling let down by a funeral policy.

Habback Chipuriro committed suicide by poisoning recently.

Sources familiar with the incident told this publication that Chipuriro felt let down by a funeral policy that he has been religiously paying for years.

"The now deceased Chipuriro took his life after his funeral policy company demanded US$700 debt from him hence he told his close relatives that there was no need for him to live anymore," the source said.

Chipuriro died at Guruve hospital after being admitted hours before.
