Man commits suicide after marital argument in Benfica neighborhood

A man took his own life in the early hours of Tuesday in the Jorge Dimitrov neighborhood (Benfica), in the city of Maputo, after a disagreement with his wife. According to his wife, the argument began when she advised him not to use their children as an excuse to gain advantages, which left him visibly upset.

Moments before the act, the man reportedly told his four children, "From today on, consider me dead," leaving the family in shock. The case is being monitored by authorities and reignites debate about the importance of emotional support and communication within families.
