A 42-year-old man died after hanging himself on Sunday in Kediba Payam of Mundri East County in Western Equatoria State following a family dispute.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Tuesday, the crime office at Lui Police Station Nathaniel Baya told Radio Tamazuj that the man identified only as Clement hang himself after a disagreement over the marriage process of his son.
“The main issue is that the man’s son wants to marry but his uncle said the boy is related to the girl he wants to marry from the mother’s side. According to the local culture, that marriage can’t go ahead. So the same day he went and hang himself,” he said.
Baya said the deceased’s wife and his son have been arrested for further investigations.
