MAN POISONS HIMSELF FOR NOTHING

AN illegal Mozambican immigrant drank rat poison and died because he thought police were going to arrest and deport him for taking his girlfriend’s cell phone and R200. But his girlfriend never laid charges against him and by the time she told him, it was too late. The man told his unnamed girlfriend that he drank the poison rather than go to jail and be deported – African Eye News Service
