A 38-year-old man in Njombe, Tanzania, has hanged himself inside his room following a domestic dispute with his wife over marital intimacy.
Damas Mgaya, a resident of Kambarage Street in Njombe Town Council, was found dead after allegedly hanging himself using a shoelace tied to a window grille.
Njombe Regional Police Commander ACP Mahamoud Banga confirmed the incident.
The incident was reported at around 6 a.m. on October 13, 2026.
Commander Banga said preliminary reports linked the incident to a disagreement between Mgaya and his wife over marital issues, including sexual relations.
The wife, he said , had declined to engage in sexual intercourse, reportedly explaining that her husband had not yet been " saved", a reference to his alleged lack of religious conversion.
Police have not provided further details about the circumstances surrounding the incident.
