A 29-YEAR-OLD man from Bulawayo's Njube suburb committed suicide by hanging from a roof truss at his home in yet-to-be-established circumstances.

Bigboy Sibekeli was reportedly found hanging by his cousin and aunt whom he lived with.

"Police confirm the sudden death of Bigboy Sibeleki a male adult aged 29 of Njube Bulawayo who was found hanging from the roof truss inside his bedroom," said Bulawayo police spokesperson, Inspector Abednico Ncube in the statement.

He said Sibekeli committed suicide on October 22 at around 1130am.

"The now deceased was left at home by his aunt, a female adult aged 63. On the same day at around 2020 hours the aunt came back home in the company of the now deceased's cousin."

"The cousin proceeded to the now-deceased's bedroom to greet him. When she entered the bedroom she saw the now deceased's lifeless body hanging from the roof truss. He used an electric cable to hang himself. A police report was made," Ins Ncube said.

He urged members of the public to seek counselling whenever they encounter problems in life than to resort to taking their own lives.
